Can't use "t" in the pause menu twice in a row about karoo_gp HOT 6 CLOSED

Okay, a quick snoop in the source code revealed that when you get to the "real" pause menu, you're in the pause function around line 21 of modules/karoo_gp_pause.py, which looks like this:

	options = ['','?','help','i','m','g','s','db','ts','min','bal','l','pop','t','p','id','dir','load','w','cont','q']
	
	while True:
		try:
			menu = raw_input('\n\t\033[36m (pause) \033[0;0m')
			if menu not in options: raise ValueError()
			else: break
		except ValueError: print '\t\033[32m Select from the options given. Try again ...\033[0;0m'
		except KeyboardInterrupt: print '\n\t\033[32m Enter q to quit\033[0;0m'

However after you've entered a command it doesn't bring you back to this place; instead it brings you to an identical looking prompt (and error message) in the fx_karoo_pause function, around line 319 of modules/karoo_gp_base_class.py, which looks like this:

		if pause == 0: # ENTER enables next step in generational, interactive, and debug display
			while True:
				try:
					query = raw_input('\n\t\033[36m (pause) \033[0;0m')
					if query not in ['']: raise ValueError()
					else: break 
				except ValueError: print '\t\033[32m Select from the options given. Try again ...\033[0;0m'
				except KeyboardInterrupt: print '\n\t\033[32m Enter q to quit\033[0;0m'

The problem here is that the only valid input is the empty string. I guess what we want is that the "generic" pause mode is used (with all the introspection options)... will try to fix it here and do a PR, although I'm not sure if other parts of the code will have problems with the new behaviour of pause.

@DestyNova -- fyi if you are playing with the code. I have fork too and have been been playing around with some minor changes. https://github.com/ByteSumoLtd/karoo_gp/commits/master

To DestyNova's original issue, I offer my sincere apology for a lack of follow-through. My research in an totally different arena has dominated my time for several months. Now, my work at LIGO is bringing me back to SIMOC again, with a need to not only look into an correct these known, outstanding issues, but also bring Karoo up to Python 3.x.

I appreciate your patience, and look forward to providing an improved product soon.

The final Python 2.7 version of Karoo has been pushed to github. I am now returning to active development of Karoo. The next task is to improve the means by which I present and execute the functions of the Pause menu, so as to remove the potential for this loop. I will look at ByteSumo's mods and implement soon. Stay tuned!

This is fully resolved with the new Karoo GP 2.3 for Python 3.6. The menu functions are fully rebuilt with no nested loops. Please sync with the latest version and we'll call this closed! :)
