How do you write a code for calculating arithmetic and geometric mean using python?  I want to make it so that users can input as many numbers as they want to calculate.   

I only got to this far (but it's not correct):

print "This is a program that calculates arithmetic mean."
x = int( raw_input("Please enter the first number: ") )
y = int( raw_input("Please enter the second number: ") )
z = int( raw_input("Please enter the third number: ") )
print "The arithmetic mean of the three numbers is", (x+y+z)/3, "."

uh use an array?

I don't know python but the general strategy is to use a dynamic array whose size increases by one as the user enters in the numbers.  
Then you just loop through the array to calculate the mean.

create variables, one for the sum and one for the count, then create a loop to prompt user input...

pseudo code should be something like this:

procedure main
   double sum = 0;
   integer count = 0;
   string input = 'exit';

   loop
      input = raw_input('blah blah blah, type exit when done')
      // check input
      sum = sum + int( input )
      count = count + 1
   loop unit input = 'exit'

   if count > 0
      output sum / count
   end if

end procedure
