title: If-statements Not Regonizing User Input
body: <p>I'm new to Python and coding in general. I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank quiz to practice. The first part asks the user to choose a difficulty. Once entered, the code appends an empty list. I'll use the list to load questions and answers. However, the issue I'm running into is the if-statements won't recognize user input. I want to make sure the user only inputs easy, medium, or hard. To see if the code worked, I used a print function. However, my code goes right to the else-statement and prints 'Try again.' Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>choice = []
  
  new_choice = raw_input('Select your quiz difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard: ')
  choice.append(new_choice)
  print choice
  
  if choice == 'easy':
      print 'True'
  elif choice == 'medium':
      print 'True'
  elif choice == 'hard':
      print 'True'
  else:
      print 'Try again.'
  </code></pre>
