Python- How to skip whats been printed when returning? -

so, trying skip printed lines , come raw_input. need loop?

class stuff(scene):      def enter(self):         print "this text"         print "this text"         print "this text"         print "this text"         print "this text"          action = raw_input("> ")          if action == "blah"             print "this text"             return 'stuff' 

when this, repeats of printed lines, how go raw_input?

you create attribute class keeps track of whether you've printed text before. when do print text, set attribute appropriately. example:

class stuff(scene):     def __init__(self):         self.seen_description = false         #other initialization goes here      def enter(self):         print "end of road"         if not self.seen_description:             print "you standing beside small brick building @ end of road north."             print "a river flows south."             print "to north open country, , around dense forest."             self.seen_description = true          action = raw_input("> ")          if action == "go inside":             print "you enter brick building"             return 'brick building'  x = stuff() x.enter() x.enter() 

result:

end of road standing beside small brick building @ end of road north. river flows south. north open country, , around dense forest. > wait end of road > wait 

here, extended description first time call enter, , skipped on subsequent calls.
