Hey all,

I'm trying to write a program in Python for learning purposes which is
meant to:

Generate a random number from 0 to 6
Insert this random number to the end of a list unless the number is
already there
finish with a len(list) = 7

so far, I have this:

import random

random_list = []

while len(random_list) < 8:
	j = random.randrange(6)
	if (j in random_list):
		continue
	else:
		random_list.append(j)
	continue

print random_list


however, I get stuck in an infinite loop.

Any suggestions? 

Thank you in advance,

Adri
