Getting syntax error when using a multiline print statement

Using python 3.6.6 on Windows 10.

I'm trying to get this menu working, except I keep getting a syntax error at the i in input. I've tried have the menu options be a print statement instead while having option = input() afterwards, but that also leads to syntax errors.

Heres the menu code - 

repeat = True
while repeat = True:
    option = input("""Please choose an option:
1) Bubble Sort
2) Merge Sort
3) Binary Search
4) Linear Search
5) Quit
""")

    try:
        option = float(option)
        if option > 5:
            repeat = False
        else:
            if option == 1:
                bubbleSort()
            elif option == 2:
                mergeSort()
            elif option == 3:
                binarySearch()
            elif option == 4:
                linearSearch()
            elif option == 5:
                quit("Now quitting...")
    except ValueError:
        print('Sorry, that is not an available option. Please try again. ')

On line 2, you're missing a =. You code should be:

while repeat == True:

not

while repeat = True:

Additionally, you don't need the == True part. Only

while repeat:

will do.

Missing the second =:

while repeat == True:

But you can simplify this to:

while repeat:
