有没有更简单的方法来确保列表中的值从一个elif语句转移到另一个elif语句？

Question

我不明白为什么在我做的菜单中选择了一个不同的选项之后，我不能在代码的后面部分打印列表的内容。我怎样才能把清单的内容进行下去

这是一个学校评估，我们应该创建一个python代码，允许用户从菜单中选择创建一个数字根列表>；我尝试将包含所有其他列表的列表附加到不同的位置

我希望本节开头的输出可以打印出来 “您要编辑哪个螺旋体？”？您可以从[[list1 contents]、[list2 contents]、[list3 contents]、[etc]]中选择请输入0到3之间的数字 但结果却是 “您要编辑哪个螺旋体？”？您可以从[]中选择请输入一个从0到0的数字“
