Dead simple python function for getting a yes or no answer.
def yes_or_no(question):
reply = str(raw_input(question+' (y/n): ')).lower().strip()
if reply[0] == 'y':
return True
if reply[0] == 'n':
return False
else:
return yes_or_no("Uhhhh... please enter ")

My version using simple recursion:

def user_confirm(question: str) -> bool:
    reply = str(input(question + ' (y/n): ')).lower().strip()
    if reply[0] == 'y':
        return True
    elif reply[0] == 'n':
        return False
    else:
        new_question = question
        if "Please try again - " not in question:
            new_question = f"Please try again - {question}"
        return user_confirm(new_question)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(user_confirm("Do you love me?"))
