Python: Elif and Else not working

Question

I'm constructing an interactive timetable for terminal with Python, but at the end of my code where i have if, elif and else statements no matter what user input i give it keeps passing the if statement. Any Solutions would be greatly appreciated and Thank You for your time :)

while True:
    TimeTable()
    print "\nDo you wish to go again? "
    answer = raw_input()
    if answer == "Yes" or "yes":
        print " "
        continue
    elif answer == "No" or "no":
        print "Ok then"
        break
    else:
        print "Ok then"
        break

Try, `if answer == "Yes" or answer == "yes":` Do the same with `elif`. — Ashan, Nov 21 '16 at 09:38

answer == "Yes" or "yes"

# is the same as
(answer == "Yes") or "yes"

and is always True. You can solve your problem this way:

answer in ["Yes", "yes"]

Since this question is a duplicate, it would be better to delete the answer to help the auto-deletion mechanics – Sayse Nov 21 '16 at 09:39
