y = ["halo:lol","ich:bin","wir:wareum","galopp:kufladen"]
for i in y:
	z = i.split(":")[0]
	if z is "wir":
		print z, "is wir"
	else: print z, "is not wir"


the output from this include: "wir is not wir"

Don't use "is" for string comparison. It compares object
identity, and while this may work in some cases, it does not
in most. Use "==" instead.

Closing as Invalid.
