This will cause the program to stop-with-error if something wrong is
entered. I think that's quite rude. I would change this to:
else:
print('{0}, is not a valid choice'.format(choice))
Here's what I get from that, could you please explain why?
You're probably using Python 2.4 or 2.5; the .format method has been
introduced in Python 2.6, and is considered the 'standard' way of
working in Python 3. For older Python versions, this should read
print('%s, is not a valid choice'%(choice))
Yes, I'm using 2.45.2 as that is the highest version available in the
Ubuntu repositories, and I'd like to keep it simple for users of
programs i write. If I install a higher version from somewhere other
than the repositories it will force users of my programs to do the same,
and the repositories are the trusted source of software for Ubuntu, and
other Linux users.
Thanks for being so observant.
