Iron python is not accepting characters like _,`,:

Hi I ve a script in iron python where a variable mite contain special characters. Ex name- megha_lohit url - http://url.com

if name == megha_lohit: print 'success' else raise testcaseexception(failed)

Here the code doesnt pass the i开发者_如何学Cf loop and enters teh else part failing the test case , even though name = megha_lohit(right hand side expression), same case is with url too. Could somebody help me out

By design variable names cannot contain ":" and "`". Underscores are ok. Maybe your problem is something else in your code.
