The syntax is this:

    while condition:
        do_something()

Do you mean that it executes do_something() only once, but you expect
it to execute more that once?

Or should we interpret your seemingly inconsistent statement by
changing "condition(s) is met" to "condition(s) is NOT met" -- in
other words, it is executing one EXTRA time after you expect it to
have stopped?

Perhaps you should supply a short example of runnable code (including
print statements to show what is happening), the actual output that
you got when you ran that code, and what was the output that you
expected.
