Input wont work with if statement if it has a space

[eli m]

Hi guys, i have a program like this: (A lot of code is not included)
run = 0
while run == 0:
   raw_input("Type in a function:")
   if function == "Example":
      print ("Hello World!")
   else:
      print ("blah blah blah")

The problem is that whenever i type in example with a space after it then it prints the else statement.

My question is, how do i get it to except input with spaces?
