Hi Steve,
In your conditionals:
…
while message != 'q' or 'Q'/message != “q” or message != “Q”:
…
Python will only match the first variable. A better approach (which might be a
good solution) would be capturing the exit commands in a list like this:
JL’s code:
while message not in [“q”, “Q”]

If you're using Python 3.3 or higher,

Hey guys n gals,
New to python, having some problems with while loops, I would like to make
a program quick once q or Q is typed, but thus far I can only get the first
variable to be recognized. My code looks like:
message = raw_input("-> ")
while message != 'q':
s.send(message)
