hi, 
found a solution,
it's not quite like Chris advised but it works.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#Get the IP Address

import sys, socket, os

def restart_program():
    python = sys.executable
    os.execl(python, python, * sys.argv)

print ("\n\n#########################################################")
print ("#                Get IP from Host v 1.0                 #")
print ("#########################################################")
print ("#             Choose from the options below             #")
print ("#          1- url , 2-File(Text file only.txt)          #")
print ("#########################################################\n")

mchoice = int(raw_input("Please enter your choice> "))
while mchoice !=1 and  mchoice !=2:
    print("{0} is not a menu option.".format(mchoice))
    mchoice = int(raw_input("Please try again> "))


while mchoice == 2:
    filename = raw_input("Please enter file name here> ")
    if filename.endswith(".txt"):

        try:
            infile = open(filename)
        except EnvironmentError as e:
            print(e)
            sys.exit(1)

        print("\nFile {0} exists!".format(filename))
        print("\nGetting IP addresses for hosts")
        print("\n")
    else:
        print("{0} is not a Text file.".format(filename))
        sys.exit(1)
    for line in infile:
        hostname = line.strip()

        if waction =='E':
            sys.exit(1)
        if waction =='A':
            continue
        if waction =='M':
            print ("#########################################################")
            print ("#             Choose from the options below             #")
            print ("#          1- url , 2-File(Text file only.txt)          #")
            print ("#########################################################\n")

    try:
        print("Checking URL...")
        ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(murl)
    except EnvironmentError as d:

        sys.exit(1)
    print("Valid URL")
    print("\nIP address for {0} is {1}.".format(murl, ip_address))
    print ("\nFinished the operation")
    print ("A=another search, M=main menu, E=exit")

    waction=raw_input("Please choose your action > ")

    while waction !='A' and waction !='M' and waction !='E':
        print("{0} is not a valid action.".format(waction))

    if waction =='E':
        sys.exit(1)
    if waction =='A':
        continue
    if waction =='M':
        restart_program()
