raw_input and if / elif not working as expected [duplicate]

• How do I test one variable against multiple values? 16 answers

Well, I've been trying to create a Program that has different options to choose from at the start, and to do that I used raw_input to get the users choice, and all was going fine until I put the Encrypt() function into the if Dec == "E" or "e": block, which causes the program to disregard what the user Input at the start, and just runs the first if statement, regardless of the users input.

Here is the Code:

def Encrypt():
    print ("Placeholder for Full Encryption")

def Decrypt():
    print ("Placeholder for Full Decryption")

def AskForDecision ():
    print "Enter E to Encrypt, or D to Decrypt."
    Dec = raw_input("Enter your Input:")
    Dec = str(Dec)

    if Dec == "E" or "e":
        Encrypt()
        print "E"


    elif Dec == "D" or "d":
        Decrypt()
        print "D"



AskForDecision ()

I apologize if I happened to incorrectly describe anything, or have made the same question as someone else, I am new to the coding scene, and spent multiple hours searching for a solution to my problem to no avail, thus I have created my own question. Thank you.
