Question

I'm working on a to-do list program in Python 2. I'm trying to delete an item from the list and I'm not sure what I'm missing to do that. I haven't been able to get it to delete by string or by index number. Also, I'm trying to get the menu to run again after the user completes the add/delete/etc options. Do I need to put menu() menu_option = int(input("Welcome to your To-Do List. Please choose and option to continue: ")) after each if statement?

def menu():

   print "[1] Add an item to the list\n[2] Delete an item from the list\n[3] Print the list\n[4] Print the list in reverse\n[5] Quit the program"

menu()

menu_option = int(input("Welcome to your To-Do List. Please choose and option to continue: "))

todo_list = []

i = 0

count = 0

while menu_option != 5:

   

   if menu_option == 1:

      addedItem = str(input("Please add an item to the To-Do List. Type 'done' when you have entered all items."))

      if addedItem == 'done':

         break

      todo_list.append(addedItem)

      i += 1

      count += 1

   else: i += 1

   

  

   if menu_option == 2:

      deletedItem = str(input("Please enter the number of the item you would like to delete."))

      todo_list.remove(deletedItem)

    

      print "Item " + str(deletedItem) + " has been deleted"

def menu():
    print("[1] Add an item to the list\n[2] Delete an item from the list\n[3] Print the list\n[4] Print the list in reverse\n[5] Quit the program")

    elif menu_option == 2:
        if(len(todo_list) == 0):
            print("No items in todo_list. Please add items and then use option 2 to delete item.")
        else:

    menu()
