play = input("Would you like to play Steal or Deal [y|n]? ")
if play != "y" or "n":
    print('Please enter either "y" or "n".')

regardless of input, the output ends up

Would you like to play Steal or Deal [y|n]? y <---- (or "n")
Please enter either "y" or "n".

Is there just something I'm missing?

Shouldn't people start playing if they type 'y'? – SuperBiasedMan Apr 29 '15 at 13:59
use if play != "y" and play != "n" check. The and check will ensure you go in the if only if play is not y or n, else you will always end up in the if. – Zoro_77 Apr 29 '15 at 14:26
