have to use `raw_input' function,
after  convert to int 

>>> for i in range(100):
...     new=raw_input("Enter the new value (0 to quit):")
...     if new=='0':
...             break 
...     total=total + int(new)
... 
Enter the new value (0 to quit):1
Enter the new value (0 to quit):3
Enter the new value (0 to quit):6
Enter the new value (0 to quit):7
Enter the new value (0 to quit):0
>>> total
17
