That's because you're calling raw_input() four times, thus the user must type in a number four times. You probably want something like this: user_choice = raw_input() user_choice = int(user_choice) if user_choice == 1: print "You have selected", user_choice, ".pizza" .... .... elif user_choice == 2: print "You have selected", st, ".Steak" .... .... -- John Gordon A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs gor...@panix.com B is for Basil, assaulted by bears -- Edward Gorey, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
