TIME FOR THE CHALLENGE

Run the following code again, and try stopping the outcome.
Let me know what you observed, what you tried, how you solved it, why does it happen.

           
import requests
from lxml import html
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import os
import time

while True:
    r = BeautifulSoup(requests.get("https://in.bookmyshow.com/national-capital-region-ncr/movies/avengers-endgame/ET00090482").content, "html.parser").find("a", {"class":"showtimes btn _cuatro"})
    while(r!="None"):
        os.system("beep")
        print("Get the tickets Whatever it takes")
        # break
    else:
        print("Tickets aren't open yet")
        time.sleep(180)
