I'm just getting into py coding, and have come across an oddity in a py book - while loops that don't work as expected...import random MIN = 1 MAX = 6 def main(): again = 'y' while again == 'y': print('Rolling...') print('Values are: ') print(random.randint(MIN, MAX)) print(random.randint(MIN, MAX)) again = input('Roll again?

Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks for the input...
I believe that should be raw_input, not input . input() evaluates user's input
