[chan 06]

I have a code, and I am trying to figure out how to keep it running until the user exist it, here is a sample example:

question = input("Would you like quit the program?\nY. Yes\tN. No")

while(True):
    if question=="y":
        print("Keep the program running.")
        break

    elif question=="n":
        print("Program is closing.")
        break

So my question is, how would you keep the .exe program running? I tried to search it up and most of them involves in Python 2.6, that they simply but raw_input in the end of program and asking the user to press the program to shut down.

My second question related to first is:
What if the user wants to run the program multiple times, how would I do it? I was wondering that the user would need a nested loop to run the entire program. The first while will be keep in track of the entire program, meanwhile the second while loop will keep in track of the options that it given.

while(True):
    while(True):

So please any suggestions on how to keep the .exe program running?

Simple way:

def main_loop():
  # program here

def run():
  keep_going = true
  while keep_going:
    main_loop()
  # query user and set keep_going accordingly

Another way is this:

while(True):
    question = raw_input("Would you like quit the program?\nY. Yes\tN. No")
    if question=="n":
        print("Keep the program running.")
    elif question=="y":
        print("Program is closing.")
        break
