How can I store the user input in a while - loop? (python)

Question

community,

I' m a total noob concerning python and I would like to create a little name-statistic with the program. my code (I am using python 3.4.0):

while True:
    eingabe = input ('Please enter a name: ')
    print (eingabe)
    if eingabe == '':
        break

so now I would like to store the user input in a list. How can I do this?

Kind regards, Lisa

Just define a list and then add new values to it with .append().

names = []  # Here we define an empty list.
while True:
    eingabe = input('Please enter a name: ')
    if not eingabe:
        break

    names.append(eingabe)
    print(names) # it worked for me when I used "names" to print (since I want to print the list of all the values).  Using "eingabe" did not work for me (but I may have had other conditions)
