If i put only 5 or 6 elif statements then its work fine but after 6th statement its not work or start misbehaving. desktop.ini file code is

Answer 1

The line

elif 'play music' or 'play song' or 'play songs' in query:

is probably not evaluated the way you think. The first two conditions just evaluate to the strings 'play music' and 'play song'. Only the third part of the condition is checking to see if a value is in query.

You need to check that each string is in the query variable.

elif 'play music' in query or 'play song' in query or 'play songs' in query:
