    <p>How would I make a function where one variable (exit) determines whether a 'while' loop runs or not and be able to change it in a different function so that the while loop in the first function will stop</p> <pre><code> while exit == 0: option = (raw_input("What would you like to do? ")) if option == exit: exit() def exit(): exit = 1 </code></pre> <p>That is just an example of what I am trying to do.</p> <p>When I try running it it doesnt leave the while loop and in doing so doesn't end the program. How can I make it so that the while loop recognizes that exit is now 1 and leaves the loop? Sorry if the question isn't very good because this is my first time using stackoverflow to ask a question.</p> <p>ADDITION: I want to kno how to change the variable across functions because I will be doing that in parts of the program. Also, I am going to be saving data before exit so that is why I have the 'exit' in a different function</p>

    1. COYou could have used a module variable defined in the module scope and use it in the different function (to answer your question). Exiting a loop is way different, `if option == "exit": exit = 1` would have done the trick.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
