if statement - Hangman Python Repeats Fucntions -

when try run code keeps repeating,"so far have guessed" when want repeat once. output name when guess made should : secret_word = hello , after every word should h???o or h?ll?

def get_secret_word():     while true:         secret_word = input('please enter word guessed\nthat not contain ? or whitespace:')     if not ('?' in secret_word or ' ' in secret_word or secret_word == ''):         return secret_word   def is_game_over(wrong_guess, secret_word, output, chars_guessed):     if wrong_guess == 7:         print('you failed guess secret word:', secret_word)         return true     guess in secret_word:         if guess in chars_guessed:             output += guess         else:             output += '?'     if not ('?' in output):         print('you correctly guessed secret word:', secret_word)         return true     else:         return false   def display_hangman(wrong_guess):     if wrong_guess == 1:         print('\n |')      elif wrong_guess == 2:         print('\n |', '\n o')      elif wrong_guess == 3:         print('\n |', '\n o', '\n |')      elif wrong_guess == 4:         print('\n |', '\n o', '\n/|')      elif wrong_guess == 5:         print('\n |', '\n o', '\n/|\\')      elif wrong_guess == 6:         print('\n |', '\n o', '\n/|\\', '\n/')      elif wrong_guess == 7:         print('\n |', '\n o', '\n/|\\', '\n/', '\\')  def display_guess(secret_word, chars_guessed):     output = ''      guess in secret_word:         if guess in chars_guessed:             output += guess         else:             output += '\nso far have guessed: '             guess in chars_guessed:                 output += guess + ","                 print(output.strip(","))  def get_guess(secret_word, chars_guessed):     while true:          guess_character = input('please enter next guess: ')         if guess_character == '':             print('you must enter guess.')             continue         elif len(guess_character) > 1:             print('you can guess single character.')         elif guess_character in chars_guessed:             print('you guessed character:', guess_character)         else:             return guess_character  def main():     wrong_guess = 0     chars_guessed = []     secret_word = get_secret_word()     output = ''      while not is_game_over(wrong_guess, secret_word, output, chars_guessed):         display_hangman(wrong_guess)         display_guess(secret_word, chars_guessed)         guess_character = get_guess(secret_word, chars_guessed)         chars_guessed.append(guess_character)         chars_guessed.sort()         if not guess_character in secret_word:             wrong_guess += 1             return wrong_guess             pass   if __name__ == '__main__':     main() 

so issues can see are:

indentation issues(as pointed out of other posters already):
- get_secret_word() function if statement
- display_hangman() function elif's

also below bit of code main function

 if not guess_character in secret_word:             wrong_guess += 1             return wrong_guess             pass  

this exits out of app me , far can see return , pass lines not needed. return exits main function when incorrect guess made , pass never reached , since wrong_guess "global" variable in main function new count available in function length of time function active.

as repeated looping displaying users guesses way in how looping in display_guess() function. in case character being guessed not in secret word loops on twice, once outer loop , again inner loop.

i think should change display_guess() below. way user see have guessed

def display_guess():     output = "\nso far have guessed: "     count = 0     if len(chars_guessed) > 0:         guess in chars_guessed:              if count < len(chars_guessed) , count != 0:                 output += ','             output += guess             count +=1         print output   

as displaying secret word guessed characters , rest ?'s, doesn't seem printing value of output variable is_game_over() function anywhere. haven't tested adding print after loop should sort out.

on side note might wish add validation on user input excepts numbers , special characters
