main calls showMenu which calls showMenu which calls showMenu etc....
You need to break the cycle of showMenu calls. Thats usually done by
inserting some kind of check before the call to showMenu inside showMenu
so that you only call it when needed.
However I suspect what you really need here is to use a loop instead of
having showMenu calling itself.
choice = None
while not choice # or some other test condition here
choice = showMenu()
