Each menu is a function that prints out options, saves a raw_input
as the
variable choice, and returns choice. In the main menu, each option
leads to
a sub-menu. After choice is defined, however, the sub-menu "tags"
the value
of choice.
Yes that can all work.
Then create a loop of while choice !=q, run current_menu, and
include a
bunch of statements along the lines of:
if choice == <value that leads to first sub-menu>:
current_menu = <function name for first sub-menu>
Consider using a dictionary keyed by your combined choice values.
Then the big if/elif chain shrinks to
returnValue = FuncDict[choice](params)
The only challenge with this route is making all the functions
take a single input argument. But that argument can be a tuple :-)
This seems like it would work, but for some reason, every time I run
the
code, it freezes after I give input from the main menu. Can anybody
help? I
can show my source code, but indentation doesn't seem to copy/paste
very
well, so it may be a bit hard to read...
Try putting it on the pastebin web site and sending us the URL.
That gives us colour coding of syntax too which helps read it!
