There isn't a “restart the program” code we can give. But I think you
need only something rather simpler:

You can end the current loop with the ‘break’ statement. See the docs
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-break-statement>
to see exactly what its semantics are, and try using that in your code.

Feel free to ask further questions when you've tried that, if it's still
not clear.
