Getting incorrect output while calling python keyword in robot test

Question

I am running below code, which runs fine in python , but in robot test its not working:

Python Code :

def test_gender(Gender=None):
    if Gender is "m":
        Gender="Male"
    elif Gender is "f":
        Gender="Female"
    print Gender
    return Gender

test_gender("m")

Expected Output: Male ,

Python Output : Male

Robot Test :

*** Settings ***
Library    test_var.py

*** Test Cases ***
Test_Gender
test_gender     m

Expected Output : Male ,

Robot output : m

Issue : Robot test is printing incorrect output "m" instead of "Male" . What is the way to get correct output from robot test for this scenario.

You're testing identity with is, not equality.

Replaced "is" with equality "==".

As per above comment replaced "is" with equality "==". Robot test is giving correct output now.
