title: I cant compare user input correctly with pre populated dictionary values
body: <p>I am trying to make an arbitrary username and password program in python
  i have a dictionary populated with a series of username and values
  I am having trouble comparing user input with dictionary username and values.
  they seem to not be equatable.</p>
  
  <pre><code>textFile = open('names.txt','r')
  dictionary = {}
  for lines in textFile:
      splatLine=lines.split('\t')
      dictionary[splatLine[3]]= splatLine[4]
  print dictionary
  
  userName= raw_input("what is your UserName:")
  password= raw_input("what is your Password:")
  </code></pre>
