How do I keep program open in python3

Question

I'm almost new to python and I'm making a kind of command line. I want to make it keep open after pressing enter. In C#, I used goto for example:

start:
a = Console.ReadLine("Enter Command:");
goto start;

But now, I don't know how to do that in python.

What should the program _do_ after the user input? Your C# program just asks the user for new input forever, which is not really all that useful. — phihag, Jan 04 '19 at 10:52
There is not goto statement in Python, also even in languages where it is available using it is often considered bad practice c.f. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3517726/what-is-wrong-with-using-goto — Daweo, Jan 04 '19 at 11:05

There is no goto in Python. However you can create an infinite loop.

while True:
   input()

An example:

while True == True:
    dum = raw_input("Enter Command:")

`True == True` isn't particularly idiomatic and `raw_input` is Python 2.x only. – tripleee Jan 04 '19 at 11:02
That said, raw_input() is much, much safer to use in Python2. – rvs Jan 04 '19 at 11:08
