当我尝试比较python中的两个字符串时，我在python中得到错误的结果

Question

Why I am getting wrong result when I compare the two strings .

if password==en_pass:
            log.info("##### client credentials are OK ####")
else:
     print "credentials are wrong "

i am getting the result which is in else block

Here is the my log message:

got the password :bmF2ZWVu  , encoded password :bmF2ZWVu

where encoded password is from base64 , that is i got that by using encodestring method in base 64 module.

Answer 1

it seems that password is not 'bmF2ZWVu' , but contains trailing spaces, like 'bmF2ZWVu ' . Try if password.strip()==en_pass.strip()
