.upper Command not Working

I am currently making a text based rpg, and to solve the problem of case sensitivity during inputs, I used .upper to make it all uppercase. However, it seems to not work in my code. Can someone please help?

 if weapon in normalswords or weapon in fireswords or weapon in airswords or weapon in grassSwords:
                if weapon in normalswords:
                    print (normalswords[weapon])
                    while y== True:
                        variable= input("Equip? Yes or No")
                        variable.upper()
                        if variable== "YES":  
                            print (weapon, "Equipped")
                            x= False
                            y=False
                        elif variable == "NO":
                            x= True
                        else:
                            print ("That is not a valid answer")
                            y=True

str.upper() returns a copy of the string converted to upper case. It does not modify the string inplace because strings are immutable in Python.

Try this:

variable = variable.upper()
