the input is not working in the second time

when an invalid answer (a number higher than 2) is given and is sent back to the intro(name) (see the else statement at the bottom) which is the introduction, the choise1 is auto completed and is redirected to crowbar()
def intro(name):#added the whole code
print( name + " you are in a back of a car hands tied, you can't remember anything apart the cheesy pizza you had for breakfast")
time.sleep(1)
print("you can see 2 men outside the car chilling out, they haven't seen that you have waken up")
time.sleep(1)
print("you figure out that your hands are not tied hard and manages to break free")
time.sleep(1)
print("and you see a piece of paper with your adress in it on the armrest in the middle of the front seats")
time.sleep(1)
print(" you see a crowbar under the back seat ")
time.sleep(1)
print("CHOOSE WISELY")
time.sleep(1)
print("""
1)grab the crowbar
2)check to see if the door was open""")
def car():
if choise1 == 1:
crowbar()
elif choise1 == 2:
door()
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
intro(name)
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car()

you can use function with parameter in this example (x )
def car(x):
if x == 1:
print("crowbar()")
elif x == 2:
print("door()")
else:
print("that's not a valid answer")
print("intro(name)")
choise1 = int(input("enter 1 or 2"))
car(choise1)

In my above code, when there are multiple players and multiple guesses(Rounds) then it works fine unless someone successfully guesses the code. If the code is guessed the code deletes the correct record from the player list. But for some reason fails to iterate over the rest of the list or if the correct guess comes from the second user it skips the next player altogether and moves onto the next round.
I have absolutely no idea why. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
For example, if you run this in console and then have 3 guesses with 3 users, on the first player you guess incorrectly. On the second you guess correctly, it skips player 3 and goes straight to round 2. Despite only remove player 2 from the list after a correct guess.
Or if you guess it correctly the first time around it skips to the 3rd player?

You are keeping track of players in the current round using a list of player numbers. So, if you start with three players, PlayersForRound will start as [1,2,3].
You then proceed to loop over this list to give each player their turn by using for Player in PlayersForRound. However, PlayersForRound and NumberOfPlayers are the exact same list (not a copy), so when you remove a player from one, it is removed from both.
Once a player guesses correctly, you remove them from the list you were looping over with NumberOfPlayers.pop(Player-1). For example if the second player guesses correctly, you remove their "index" from the list and the resulting list is now [1,3].
However, because Python is still looping over that same list, player 3 never gets their turn, because their "index" is now in the position where the "index" of player 2 was a moment ago.
You should not modify the list you're looping over, this will result in the weird behaviour you are seeing. If you want to modify that list, you could write a while loop that conditionally increases an index into the list and checks whether it exceeds the length of the list, but there are nicer patterns to follow to achieve the same result.
As for naming, please refer to https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ - specifically, your variables like PlayersForRound should be named players_for_round, but more importantly, you should name the variables so that they mean what they say. NumberOfPlayers suggests that it is an integer, containing the number of players, but instead it is a list of player numbers, etc.
The selected bits of your code below reproduce the problem, without all the fluff:
# this line isn't in your code, but it amounts to the same as entering '3'
Players = 3
NumberOfPlayers = []
for i in range(Players):
NumberOfPlayers.append(i+1)
PlayersForRound = NumberOfPlayers
for Player in PlayersForRound:
# this line is not in your code, but amounts to the second player guessing correctly:
if Player == 2:
NumberOfPlayers.pop(Player-1)
if Player == 3:
print('this never happens')
# this is why:
print(PlayersForRound, NumberOfPlayers)

When you pop the list, you intervene in the for loop. Here, you can play with this and see yourself.
players = 3
player_list = []
for p in range(players):
player_list.append(p + 1)
for player in player_list:
print(player)
if player == 2:
print("popped:",player_list.pop(player-1))
Output
1
2
popped: 2

How can I return my code to the start of the code?

I've been trying to return my code to the beginning after the player chooses 'yes' when asked to restart the game. How do I make the game restart?
I've tried as many solutions as possible and have ended up with this code. Including continue, break, and several other obvious options.

I want for my code to restart completely when 'yes' is typed after given the option.

In general, if you want to be able to 'go back to the beginning' of something, you want to have a loop that contains everything. Like
while True:
""" game code """
That would basically repeat your entire game over and over. If you want it to end by default, and only restart in certain situations, you would do
while True:
""" game code """
if your_restart_condition:
continue # This will restart the loop
if your_exit_condition:
break # This will break the loop, i.e. exit the game and prevent restart
""" more game code """
break # This will break the loop if it gets to the end
To make things a little easier, you could make use of exceptions. Raise a RestartException whenever you want to restart the loop, even from within one of your functions. Or raise an ExitException when you want to exit the loop.
class RestartException(Exception):
pass
class ExitException(Exception):
pass
while True:
try:
""" game code """
except RestartException:
continue
except ExitException:
break
break

You have two main options.
First option: make a main function that, when called, executes your script once. Then, for the actual execution of the code, do this:
while True:
main()
if input("Would you like to restart? Type 'y' or 'yes' if so.").lower() not in ['y', 'yes']:
break
Second, less compatible option: use os or subprocess to issue a shell command to execute the script again, e.g os.system("python3 filename.py").
EDIT: Despite the fact this is discouraged on SO, I decided to help a friend out and rewrote your script. Please do not ask for this in the future. Here it is:
import time, sys
score = 0
def makeChoice(message1, message2):

User input comparison isn't working

When the program goes to level one, and the game begins, I input the correct answer, but it does not work. The answer to the first quote is "death". The if else statement is supposed to acquire the answer of the user, and, if it is correct, display a message and move on to the next level. However, it does not. It displays another message telling me I lost.
I don't understand what is going on, especially since the if else statement picks up whether or not the user wants to view the rules.
Just to be safe, I am going to write one last clarification in a more straightforward form.
When I input the correct answer on level one, and I know for a fact it is the correct answer, it does not display the congrats_message, but it displays the loss_message.
welcome_message = "Hello! Welcome to Quote Game by Chandler Morell!"

congrats_message = "Congratulations! You passed level one!"
loss_message = "Sorry. You did not succeed. One life has been lost."

As cricket_007 pointed out you need to use == instead of is in your code. This is because is returns True if both variables point to the same object whereas == returns True if the value of both variables are equal. I would also suggest that you use a line break in your code \n as opposed to using print(“”).

Why will this program not work in the shell, but work in my IDE?

Im having a problem with a dice roller program (text for now but eventually graphical). It will not work in anything except for the IDE I use, Wing IDE 101 4.1. The error i get flashes too fast for me to read, but i will try to take a screenshot of it. (I will edit this post if i get a screenshot.)
Here is the program:

You can redirect the log to the text file with "logging" module if my memory serves.

I dont think input() does what you expect it to. input reads a line of text, then executes it (as python).
I think what you want is more along the lines of stdin.readline(). To use it, you will have to from sys import stdin at the top, then replace all occurences of input with sys.readline(). Note also that this will return a newline at the end, which you have to account for.
