How can I get input to only evaluate when my function is called, not when my app runs? 

    def get_name(name = input('Enter a name.\n> ').rstrip()):
    '''Enter a name'''

    return name if validate_length(name, 'name') else get_name()

I fixed it by putting name = input('Enter a name.\n> ').rstrip() inside of the actual function instead as an argument:

def get_name():
    name = input('Enter a name.\n> ').rstrip()
    return name if validate_length(name, 'name') else get_name()
