Infinite loops and string comparision in a lists

[ambo2011]

I am a new programmer, learning python. I have written this code but I need help
1. Make an infinite loop so that the user can enter many numbers into the list.
2. Make a provision for a infinite loop to end, like typing the word "Done".
Here is the code:

print "Welcome to average script "

def main():
    #declaration of an empty list avg
    avg = []
    loop = 1
    while loop ==1:
        try:
            
            avg.append( int(raw_input("Enter the first number you want average: \n")))   
            avg.append( int(raw_input("Enter the second number you want average: \n")))
            avg.append( int(raw_input("Enter the third number you want average: \n")))

            print "The list is: ", avg
            ambo = len(avg)
            print "The number of members in the list is: ", ambo
            s = sum(avg)
            print "The sum of the enterd numbers is: ",s
            a = float (s/ambo)
            print "The average of the enterd members of the list are: ", a
            break
        except ValueError:
            print "\n Please Enter a number (Integer)"
        
        try:
            loop = input("Press 1 to try again: ")
            avg = []
        except NameError:
            loop = 1
       
        continue           
main()

Hi

Thanks for posting. Here's some methods that might help

mylist=[]
while 1:
    a=raw_input("enter number: ")
    if a=="done": break
    try:
        mylist.append(float(a))
    except:
        print "invalid input."
print mylist, sum(mylist)/max([len(mylist),1])

I haven't tested it but hopefully it makes sense.
