How to get a Boolean input from the user in python? [duplicate]

Question

I want to get an input from user. If I want a string as an input, then I can have input("enter your answer") But if I want the input as a boolean value: True or False ONLY, how can I do it in python?

You can either:

Create a separate method that asks for input of strings like "True" or "False" and that use that method as a boolean according to what it returns:

       def trueCheck():
        response = input("True or False?")
        if response == "True":
            return True
        if response == "False":
            return False

Or pass the response from _main to the method and return a boolean:

       def trueCheck(response):
        if response == "True":
            return True
        if response == "False":
            return False
