python - Fill_in_blank_game. Unable to select level -

whenever type in 1 of level options console prints

"c-3po: entry not compute sir." , prmpts again.

so in other words unable select level of game. enter in padawan example, 1 of selections , instead of showing paragraph blanks code runs while loop of chosen_level not in choices.

here code.

you have few problems code. first padawan_inputs, jedi_inputs, , master_inputs should each on new line. next segment:

print "c-3po: you've selected " + str(choices[chosen_level]) + '!\n' return choices[chosen_level] 

should indented in select_level function. in ask_question error trys_left = max_trys because max_trys isn't defined, remove s. onto question, right choices {'1': 'padawan', 'jedi': 'jedi', '2': 'jedi', 'master': 'master', 'padawan': 'padawan', '3': 'master'} , check if users lowercase input array:

chosen_level = raw_input(prompt).lower() while chosen_level not in choices:     print "c-3po: entry not compute sir."     chosen_level = raw_input(prompt).lower() 

none of values in choices lowercase only. either remove lower() or fix choices have valid entry items. when removed lower() level selected.

chosen_level = raw_input(prompt)
