Thanks.  That was pretty basic...

I am trying to have a user select from amongst a list of items, and
then make use of that choice later on as both a string (e.g. "you chose
_____"). My function currently allows for a numerical choice, but I am
not sure how to return it as the item (e.g. apple) rather than the
integer corresponding to the position in the list:



It looks like all you need is a

  print 'You selected: ', fruit_list[fruit]

after the get_material() call.
This accesses the position >fruit< (i.e. the value in fruit) in the
array fruit_list.
Try

  print fruit_list[0], fruit_list[1], fruit_list[2]

and you'll understand how it works.
