You have an indentation error and a typo in your code.

It seems that the last line of code is in your while loop, indent it out of the while loop

as for the typo, you wrote usr__resp in one place and user_input in another.

fixed version;

name = input("Whats your Name? ")

user_resp = input("{}, do you understand python while loops? \nEnter yes/no ".format(name))

while user_resp != "yes":

    print("ok, {}, while loops in Python repeat as long as a certain Boolean condition is met.".format(name))

    user_resp = input("{}, now do you understand python while loops? \nEnter yes/no ".format(name))

print("That's great, {}. I 'm please that you understand while loops now. That was getting repetitive".format(name))
