raw_input not working after while loop

Question

I have a question about the raw_input function.

I made a small number-guessing game as a small project, and if you don't want to play it states "goodbye". However, I have put it as a raw_input so the program only closes after you press Enter.

The problem with this is that the program completely looks over the raw_input bit, whereas using print("") instead works.

Have I made a mistake anywhere? Here is the code:

import random
from random import randint
Number = 0
Guess = 0
while True:
    Decision = raw_input("Do you want to play a round of number guess?(Yes/No)")
    if Decision == "Yes":
        Number = randint(0,100)
        while True:
            Guess = input("What number will you guess?")
            if Guess == Number:
                print("Correct!")
                break
            if Guess > Number:
                print("Too big!")
            if Guess < Number:
                print("Too Small")
    elif Decision == "No":
        print("Oh well")
        break
    else:
        print("I'm not what that means...")
raw_input = ("Goodbye")

Answer 1

Consider this line from your program:

raw_input = ("Goodbye")

This line does not invoke the raw_input() function. Rather, it rebinds the global name raw_input to the string "Goodbye". Since this is the last line of your program, this line has no practical effect.

If you want the program to pause before exiting, try this:

raw_input("Goodbye")
