To replicate what you have above, I would do something like;

quit=False
while not quit:
	choice=input('1 for calc, 2 for fib, any other to quit')
	if choice==1:
		print input('Enter expression: ')
	elif choice==2:
		a, b, n = 1, 1, input("\nWhat Fibonacci number do you want to go to?
")
        	         while n > 0:
            		print a
            		a, b, n = b, a+b, n-1
	else:
		quit=True
