[Tutor] need a little help

[Glen Wheeler]

  Howdy,

  What your looking for is a loop - in this situation I think a while loop
would be best.  Is there a quit option in your menu?  Here is a little bit
of python...

print 'Hi, please enter 1 to print slime mould, 2 to quit'
while 1:
    choice = raw_input('> ')
    if choice == '1':
        print 'slime mould'
    elif choice == '2':
        print 'bye!'
        break
    else:
        print "That's not a 1 or 2 :)"

  HTH,
  Glen
