Yes, a loop.
Python has two loop constructs: for and while.

If you replace the if test with a while test it will do 
what you want I think. 

while x>0:

Except that it will never stop looping!
You might want to consider putting a mechanism for 
stopping in there :-)

But any reasonable tutorial for beginners should cover 
loops.

Try mine for example... :-)
