Rebooting program after input() automatically on python

Question

I have a question about python 3.4.1

So suppose you have a program like this:

name = input("What is your name?")
print("Hi", name ,'!')

So you get:

.>>> What is your name?

So you type in you James and you get back:

.>>> Hi James!

Then after it prints this little message, it automatically resets, and goes back to:

.>>> What is you name?

Thanks for you time! :D

while True:
    name = input("What is your name?")
    print("Hi", name ,'!')

Use a while loop

You need some condition to break out of the loop:

while True:
    name = input("Enter your name or press q to quit")
    if name == "q": 
        break    # if user enters `q`, we will end the loop with this break statement
    print("Hi", name ,'!') # or else just print the name

A nice tutorial on while loops.
