It looks like your indentation is off for the if statement. It should
be aligned with the "name = raw_input" statement above it.
Also, elif name == ["Madonna", "Cher"]: will never evaluate to true.
Assume someone enters "guido" for their name, then you're doing this
comparison.
"guido" == ["Madonna", "Cher"]
A string will never equal a list. Now, a string could be in a list.
if name in ("Madonna", "Cher"):
print "Sorry, you can't come in."
