[python] Python: How to keep repeating a program until a specific input is obtained?

I have a function that evaluates input, and I need to keep asking for their input and evaluating it until they enter a blank line. How can I set that up?

while input != '':
    evaluate input

I thought of using something like that, but it didn't exactly work. Any help?

Easier way:

#required_number = 18

required_number=input("Insert a number: ")
while required_number != 18
    print("Oops! Something is wrong")
    required_number=input("Try again: ")
if required_number == '18'
    print("That's right!")

#continue the code

This is a small program that will keep asking an input until required input is given.

we should keep the required number as a string, otherwise it may not work. input is taken as string by default

required_number = '18'

while True:
    number = input("Enter the number\n")
    if number == required_number:
        print ("GOT IT")
        break
    else:
        print ("Wrong number try again")

or you can use eval(input()) method

required_number = 18

while True:
    number = eval(input("Enter the number\n"))
    if number == required_number:
        print ("GOT IT")
        break
    else:
        print ("Wrong number try again")

you probably want to use a separate value that tracks if the input is valid:

good_input = None
while not good_input:
     user_input = raw_input("enter the right letter : ")
     if user_input in list_of_good_values: 
        good_input = user_input
