No...but I through some concept code together that does the basics:
<code>
def repeater():
for i in range(10):
print i
def main():
ret = 'Y'
while 1:
if ret.upper() == 'Y':
repeater()
else:
print 'Program finished...goodbye!'
break
ret = raw_input('Do you want to continue? (Y/N)')
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
</code>
I found that using the while was the easiest to create on short
notice. You could probably do it with recursion too, but I'm not
especially good at that.
Another idea is to have some kind of sentinel value that both
functions can access and use it somehow to tell whether or not to
repeat.
Hope that helps you get going.
Mike
