While true python ошибка

Here’s my script:

def makeithappen():
    word=""
    while True:
        try:
            word=inputText()
        except:
            print("Something happened inputText")
        else:
            if len(word)>0:
                break
            elif word!=str:
                break 

For some reason however I get an invalid syntax error and I am not sure why.

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

def makeithappen():
   word=""
   while True:
        try:
           word=raw_input("Go:")
        except:
           print("Something happened inputText")
        else:
           if len(word)>0:
              print("Hello!!")
           elif word!=str:
              print("Bye!!")
              break
makeithappen()

I’m not ‘in’-sane. Indeed, I am so far ‘out’ of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy

A lot of times you have to look at the line before the traceback

you posted this

if __name__ == "__main__"

It should be this

if __name__ == "__main__":

Quote:It should be this

I did it, and now, I’m getting a syntax error, cause of it.

if __name__ == «__main__»:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

no, it’s not because of it
sometimes the error is on the line before the one where the error is shown (note it points at the start of the line).
If you post your full code we may be able to tell you more. in any case — check the line before that one

It appears you have a similar issue above that line as well. You need to post the full code.

My code:

def make_response(self):
    recognised = False
    get_cmd = False
    database = {
        "hello": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
        "hi": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
        "hey": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
        "goodbye": "Bye. See you next time!"
    }

    self = self.lower()

    for i in database:
        if i in self:
            recognised = True
            value = database.get(i)
            print(value)


def robot():
    print('Welcome to robot.py')
    print('What can I do for you?')

    while True:
        query = input('>')
        make_response(query)


robot()

When I input «hello», the program gives the intended response but it just exits without completing the loop. Which line broke the loop??
Thank you.

I’m totally unable to reproduce that. It keeps prompting for new inputs, just like the code says.

As an aside, though, here’s a slight simplification, using dict.items():

database = {
    "hello": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
    "hi": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
    "hey": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
    "goodbye": "Bye. See you next time!",
}


def make_response(query):
    query = query.lower()
    for keyword, answer in database.items():
        if keyword in query:
            print(answer)
            break


def robot():
    print("Welcome to robot.py")
    print("What can I do for you?")

    while True:
        query = input(">")
        make_response(query)


robot()

This Code works perfectly in my machine. But problems with Python 2.7 version. I prefer you to work with Python 3.6 or above.

Here is a simplified code.

Code:

def make_response():
  database = {
        "hello": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you",
        "hi": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
        "hey": "Nice to meet you. What can I do for you?",
        "goodbye": "Bye. See you next time!"
      }
  return database

def robot():
    print('Welcome to robot.py')
    print('What can I do for you?')

    while True:
        query = str(input('>'))
        database = make_response()
        if query in list(database.keys()):
            print(database[query])

robot() 

Check it out.
I hope it would be helpful.
