How to continuously prompt for user input?

Question

I\'m writing a function that prompts for input and then returns different results based on the input and then asks for input again. I\'ve got it returning the correct values

Answer 1

One way is to put it in a while loop, and then also check for an exit input to break out.

Answer 2

You've done most of the work, you just need this:

while True:
    print interact()

Answer 3

I would do it with a while loop. Like This:

while True:
    com = raw_input('Command:').split()
    if len(com) == 0:
        break
    elif com[0] == 'i':
        bike_name =  command[1] + ' ' + command[2]
        return get_product_id(products, bike_name)

Answer 4

Call the method inside an (end-less) loop:

while True:
   some_method()

Answer 5

There is no need to take so much pain and write your own command line interpreter. Look at this: http://docs.python.org/2/library/cmd.html
