How to trigger this while loop to stop (Python)

while True:
    try:
        partA=input("Please insert a list of numbers separated by a space ")
        partAa= all(ele.isdigit() for ele in partA)
        break
    except partAA==False:
        print("Error, please try again")
        continue
    except partA=="":
        print("Error, please input numbers ")
        continue

partB=partA.split()
print(partB)

for i in range(len(partB)):
    partB[i]=int(partB[i])
order=""
while True:
    order=input("What order would you like your numbers in? ascending, descending, or none? n")
    if order==("ascending") or order==("descending") or order==("none"):
        break
    else:
        print("Error, please try again")
        continue

if order=="ascending":
    partB.sort()
    print(partB)
elif order=="descending":
    partB.sort(reverse=True)
    print(partB)
elif order=="none":
    print(partB)

You need to add breaks to the conditions you want the loop to end after. You want it to end after the user input, therefore you add your breaks after the user input. You’re ‘breaking’ out of the loop.

Also, there was no need to loop with the conditions while order!=("ascending") or order!=("descending") or order!=("none"):. You break the loop once user has input the desired strings. There is no need to loop on the condition the user inputs one of those strings or not because your break ends the loop before the condition is even met. Just while True: is needed for this case.

There was also no need to use try: for the second while loop for taking user input for order. You only use try: if an exception error could be raised and you need the program to make a decision based on that error if it happens. You also didn’t even add an except: line with try: which would have raised an error had you even reached that part of the script. This is overall very bad code.
