Basic program to convert integer to Roman numerals?

Question

I\'m trying to write a code that converts a user-inputted integer into its Roman numeral equivalent. What I have so far is:

The point of the generate_

Answer 1

Another way. I wrote recursive loop by roman symbols, so the max depth of recursion equals length of roman tuple:

ROMAN = ((1000, 'M'), (900, 'CM'), (500, 'D'), (400, 'CD'),
    (100, 'C'), (90, 'XC'), (50, 'L'), (40, 'XL'),
    (10, 'X'), (9, 'IX'), (5, 'V'), (4, 'IV'), (1, 'I'))

def get_romans(number):
    return do_recursive(number, 0, '')


def do_recursive(number, index, roman):
    while number >= ROMAN[index][0]:
        number -= ROMAN[index][0]
        roman += ROMAN[index][1]
    if number == 0:
        return roman
    return check_recursive(number, index + 1, roman)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(get_romans(7))
    print(get_romans(78))
