I'm using a while loop to try to do this.
You will need a loop if you want to keep trying till
the user gets it right

That's another option, particularly common with characters:
if ch not in "yYnNqQ":
# deal with error
else: # carry on
For your case it could be
if value not in range(1,9):
# handle error
else: # carry on
But the <=> test above is more efficient, especially
for large ranges.
