I'm not sure why you put that on two lines but
thats just a nit pick...

This will loop forever unless you explicitly break,
return or hit an exception. You should fix that.

You append activity regardless of what it is so
obviously you include the 'quit'.

Then after appending it you test to see if its
quit then print a message(but don;t actually
quit, see above)


To avoid the append you could put the test for
quit at the top of the loop and put the append
lines in an else:

if activity == 'quit':
   print.... # and break?
else:
   append....
