Is there a way to repeat a script in Python, as if from a menu?

Question

Is there any way I might be able to return a program to I guess what you’d call a ‘menu’, rather than it ending the script whenever it finishes? I’ve been trying to find a way of going about this but I just can’t seem to get a good understanding of which functions to use.

Answer 1

Maybe more like this.

from time import sleep
try:
while True:
#your code here
except KeyboardInterrupt:
#ctrl+c
print('Exiting script');

There's many ways but we can't give a good answer without your whole script.

Answer 2

You can write an eternal loop and put your script inside it, like this:

while True:
#your code here

When the script reaches its end, it will start over from the while.

(Try to work with the idea and see how far it gets you!)

Answer 3

I’ll try both of these, thank you so much!

Answer 4

Toni Isotalo, what do you use sleep for in this case?

I doubt it's a good idea to put your whole code into an exception handler block. You should use 'try' to *isolate* a problematic piece of code.

If you want a possibility to leave the program, you can just define an appropriate condition instead of using True (pseudo code):

while(user hasn't chosen 'end'):
