Thanks for the help Kent, Noel and Alan. Here is my final script (it seems to be working ok but sometimes if I select "quit the programme", I need to enter that option 2 or 3 times before it works, is this a bug
Try this program. Choose option a a few times, then choose f enough times to exit. See if you can figure out what is going on.
def print_options(): print "------------------------------" print "Options:" print "a. print options" print "f. quit the programme" print "------------------------------" while 1: choice = raw_input("Choose an option: ") if choice == 'a': print 'About to call print_options' print_options() print 'Finished calling print_options' if choice == 'f': break
print_options()
Kent
