Alternatively, you could do:
if action.lower() == 'y':
This is the most readable, IMO, but is probably slower (function calls are
expensive) than 'if len(action) == 1 and action in "yY"' or 'if action ==
"y" or action == "Y"'. (Of course, the difference in speed here is almost
certainly irrelevant).
