How do I do this? I would appreciate any feedback!

Now I am making an AI script with a feelings feature. But I would enter "You Stupid" and it would reply "I did not understand that". Here is my code:

elif userInput in ['You'] and ['stupid']:
           print "That is mean! I am ending this conversation!"
           #I deleted the feelings script below

How do I make it check for 'You' and 'stupid'

Okay so I think I know how to do this.

user_input = userInput.split() #splitting the input into a list

for word in user_input:
  if word == "You" or word == "you" or word == "Stupid" or word == "stupid":    #You could convert the user input into all lowercase here if you wanted
    print "That is mean! I am ending this conversation!"
    break #so if the user enters you AND stupid, it won't repeat "That is mean! I am ending this conversation!"

Reasonable, how do I set all letters to lowercase?

So this would be the complete code. I also cleaned it up a bit. Just ask if you need anymore help.

userInput = userInput.lower().split()

for word in userInput:
  if (word == "you") or (word == "stupid"):
    print ("That is mean! I am ending this conversation!")
    break

I think you want:

elif userInput == "You Stupid":
           print "That is mean! I am ending this conversation!"
           #I deleted the feelings script below

No I would like it to make it only check for you stupid, like it will also accept You are so stupid
