Return to main function in python - python-3.x

Question

Working on Python 3.4.3
Let's say I have created three fuctions:
def choosing(mylist=[]):
print("We will have to make a list of choices")
appending(mylist)
done = False
while(done == "False"):
confirm = input("Is your list complete?[Y/N]")
if(confirm == "Y"):
print("Yaay! Choices creation complete."
"{} choices have been added successfully".format(len(mylist)))
done = True
elif(confirm == "N"):
action = input("What do you want to do? [Append/Delete]")
if(action == "Append"):
appending(mylist)
done = False
elif(action == "Delete"):
removing(mylist)
done = False
def appending(mylist1 = []):
print("Please type EOF when you want to stop!")
while True:
c = input("Please enter EOF to stop adding. Please enter a choice: ")
if(c=="EOF"):
break
else:
mylist1.append(c)
print("You have inserted {} choices".format(len(mylist1)))
print("Please verify them below: ")
for x in range(0, len(mylist1)):
print(mylist1[x])
def removing(mylist2 = []):
print("Following are choices: ")
r = input("What do you want to remove? ")
mylist2.remove(r)
print("{} successfully removed!".format(r))
Now problem is I can't just call choices() in append or remove function as choices() function will call append again and again infinitely.
So how do I get back in choices after appending or removing data in list?

As suggested by tobias_k, you should add the contents of choices() into a while loop.
I also found
some other problems:
False does not equal "False", so your while loop never runs.
You use terms like mylist, mylist1, and mylist2 - it's better to rename these to choosing_list, appending_list, and removing_list, so it's clearer.
You also shouldn't use False to define a while loop - instead, make a variable, then set it to True. When you have to stop, set it to False.
Here is the code with those problems fixed:
def appending(appending_list = []):
print("Please type EOF when you want to stop!")
while True:
c = input("Please enter EOF to stop adding. Please enter a choice: ")
if(c=="EOF"):
break
else:
appending_list.append(c)
print("You have inserted {} choices".format(len(appending_list)))
print("Please verify them below: ")
for x in range(0, len(appending_list)):
print(appending_list[x])
return appending_list
def removing(removing_list = []):
print("Following are choices: ")
r = input("What do you want to remove? ")
removing_list.remove(r)
print("{} successfully removed!".format(r))
return removing_list
print("We will have to make a list of choices")
choosing_list = appending()
list_incomplete = True
while list_incomplete:
confirm = input("Is your list complete?[Y/N]")
if(confirm == "Y"):
print("Yaay! Choices creation complete."
"{} choices have been added successfully".format(len(choosing_list)))
list_incomplete = False
elif(confirm == "N"):
action = input("What do you want to do? [Append/Delete]")
if(action == "Append"):
choosing_list = appending(choosing_list)
elif(action == "Delete"):
choosing_list = removing(choosing_list)
Let me know if there's any problems with this code.
