Do you mean that you want to quit if *any* of your inputs is given as
'Quit' ? The something like this should work:
import weekday_string1
while True:
ryear = raw_input("year= ")
print ryear
if ryear=='Quit':
print '\nThank you for using this program! Bye.'
break
else:
year = int(ryear)
month = raw_input("month= ")
day = raw_input("day= ")
if month=='Quit' or day == 'Quit':
break
wd = weekday_string1.weekday_string(year, int(month), int(day))
print "The given date: %2d/%2d/%4d is a %s." % (month, day, year, wd)
print "======================================"
Couple of things here:
1. I have used raw_input() to take the input for month and day as well
(Why? See the differences between input() and raw_input():
http://echorand.me/2012/10/11/input-and-raw_input-in-python/)
2. Since raw_input() returns its input as a string, I use the int()
function when I call your weekday_string() function with month and
date.
Does that help?
