How get check all input the user enters for a certain word in Python?

Question

I am new to python programming. I want to call a function whenever the user enters the word "inventory" after I prompt them for an input at any point in the game. At the moment I am doing this:

    def myFunction():
        #do something

    userInput = input("Some input")
    someMoreInput = input("Do something")

    if userInput == "inventory" or someMoreInput == "inventory":
        myFunction()

The problem with this is that whenver I want to have the user enter something (and that will happen a lot ) I have to add the variable name to my if statement.

Answer 1

You have to use a loop for this, for instance:

userInput = ''
while userInput != 'inventory':
    userInput = input("Enter input: ")
myFunction()

Answer 2

As far as i have understood your question, you don't want to define a variable for your input again and again.

Well, you don't have to. You can compare directly:

if input("Some input")=="inventory": 
    myFunction()

Answer 3

Oscar's implementation seems to be correct however, if you want to check input every time without declaring a variable; simply use input()

def myFunction():
     #do something

while input() != "inventory":
     #print("you did not enter inventory")
     input()
myFunction()

this will keep asking for input unless it equals "inventory" and you don't need to use even a single variable.
