Python, syntax error using "if, elif" – Artificial Intelligence

I’m new to Python and while trying to write a scrip that will keep asking questions about the user until the scrip gets FALSE,

I decided to check the scrip,of course it gave me an syntax error that told me the mistake was on the fifth lane, `a.

Now on that lane I tried to change the old value of a to a new value.
sadly, I can’t understand the mistake that I made, can some one please check it and explain me what went wrong ?

    #!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligencen"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? n"))

if a=="yes":
a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?n"))               
    if a==str :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a==int :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now n"

    Your line 

    a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?n")
    • Indent this line so it is inside the ‘if’ statement
    • Add a ‘)’ at the end of this line

    A general structure for this kind of repeating loop is

    while True:
    a=str(raw_input(...)) 
    if a=="whatever": break
    # other responses to a

    You just need to indent the line. Your code should work fine. Keep learning python. It’s awesome!!!! 

    #!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligencen"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? n"))

if a=="yes":
    a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?n"))               
    if a==str :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a==int :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now n"

    To further help with the test cases, I changed your string and int tests for you. “==” test is for value btw.

    #!/usr/bin/python

print "Hello, I'm wilfred and I'm an Artificial Intelligencen"

a=str(raw_input("Do you want to be my friend? n"))

if a=="yes":
    a=str(raw_input("Yey ! my first friend,what is your name?n"))
    if a.isalpha() :
        print "Nice name man!"
    elif a.isdigit() :
        print "bye!"
elif a=="no":
    print "Well, nice to meet you anway, good bye now n"
