name variable in the new course

Hi, I just started the new Python Basics course and in the first challenge, when I put my name in the name variable the checker won't pass if I type my full name (i.e. with a space inside the string). I think you should fix that or fix the comment so the student will put his "first name" and not just "name".

Can confirm that this is accurate, tagging Kenneth Love. I just used my first name and it passed, if a space character was used it failed.

Agree, a space within the name should be acceptable for. Example: "Mary Jane"
