Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "main.py", line 217, in <module>
 prompt()
 File "main.py", line 83, in prompt
 prompt()
TypeError: 'str' 

This is the error I am getting after typing this code:

def prompt():
 print("What would you like to do?")
 prompt = input("")
 if prompt.upper() == "M":
 maps()
 prompt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "D":
 print("You go down.")
 spc()
 prompt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "U":
 print("You go up.")
 spc()
 prompt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "L":
 print("You go left.")
 spc()
 prompt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "R":
 print("You go right.")
 spc()
 prompt()
 else:
 print("You cannot do that.")
 spc()
 prompt()

and yes I know there is no current way to get out of the loop but I am working on that, I do not know if that is the problem hopefully it is not. If anybody has a solution I am open to most code. Though I only have around a year of experience so nothing extremely complicated. Thank you!

You can change either the name of the function prompt or the name of the variable prompt. On doing so your problem will be solved.

def prmpt():
 print("What would you like to do?")
 prompt = input("")
 if prompt.upper() == "M":
 maps()
 prmpt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "D":
 print("You go down.")
 spc()
 prmpt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "U":
 print("You go up.")
 spc()
 prmpt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "L":
 print("You go left.")
 spc()
 prmpt()
 elif prompt.upper() == "R":
 print("You go right.")
 spc()
 prmpt()
 else:
 print("You cannot do that.")
 spc()
 prmpt()
