Using python 3.6
How do I incorporate 0 or negative input to raise an error and let the user try again?
like <=0
#loop to check valid input option.
while True:
try:
choice = int(input('Enter choice: '))
if choice>len(header):
print("Invalid choice!! Please try again and select value either:",end=" ")
for i in range(1,len(header)+1):
print(i,end=",")
else:
break
choice = int(input(' Enter choice: '))
except ValueError as ve:print('Invalid response, You need to select the number choice from the option menu') # Catch your local ValueError and continue your loop
usr_choice = header[choice - 1]
max_val = None
max_obj = None

Explanation / Answer
You just need to modify the following code, Let me know if you have any doubt. You need to check the input value whether it is 0 or negative in the if condition itself.
#loop to check valid input option.
while True:
if choice>len(header) or choice<=0:
print("Invalid choice!! Please try again and select value either:",end=" ")
for i in range(1,len(header)+1):
print(i,end=",")
else:
break
choice = int(input(' Enter choice: '))
