My if statement for user input keeps getting skipped [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to create a code that takes in user input and prints it out in a different color of the user's choice. When I run the code, the if statement for the color choices gets skipped. Here is the code:

from termcolor import colored

while True:
    try:
        print("Colors = grey, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white")
        Colors = ['grey', 'red', 'green', 'yellow', 'blue', 'magenta', 'cyan', 'white']
        print(colored(input("Type Something: "), input("Enter a Color: ")))
    except ValueError:
        print("Not A Valid Color")
        continue
    else:
        break

while True:

    if input("Enter a Color: ") == Colors:
       print("Not a Valid Color")
     else:
       break

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

I believe what you are trying to check is whether the given input by the user is inside the Colors list.

In that case, your condition is wrong - input returns a string, and you are checking whether it is equal to a list. Instead, you want to check if the given input is inside the list or not :

if input("Enter a Color: ") not in Colors:
   print("Not a Valid Color")
else:
   ....

Answer 2

you can do it using :

ax.text()

check this site example which use it with for loop , just like your data .

Answer 3

Since you didn't provide a code sample try to adjust this with your variables it will work as you asked :

x = np.arange(len(years)) # the label locations
width = 0.35 # the width of the bars
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_ylabel('Population(in million)')
ax.set_title('Years')
ax.set_xticks(x)
ax.set_xticklabels(years)
pps = ax.bar(x, population, width, label='population')
for p in pps:
    height = p.get_height()
    ax.text(x=p.get_x() + p.get_width() / 2, y=height/2.5,
            s="{}".format(height),
            ha='center',
            rotation=90
            )
