So i a making a caesar cipher program that uses a keyword. However when i make my program ask for the keyword again for decryption the keywords are apparently treated differently even if i enter the exact same characters.

my first input for a keyword is:

keyword = input("Please enter a keyword")
keyword = keyword.upper()
keyword = keyword.replace(" ","")

my second input is:

keyword2 = input("please enter the keyword again")
keyword2 = keyword2.upper()
keyword2 = keyword2.replace(" ","")

For some reason even if i enter the same characters i get them being counted as different when i test it. This is the only part of my program that changes the keyword variable. The rest of it just grabs the first letter for example.

Hard to say without seeing your input or where you compare them, but I'd guess you're using is where you should use ==. See Why does comparing strings in Python using either '==' or 'is' sometimes produce a different result? for more info.
