Shopping List Project

Here are a few of my observations:

1. In Python semicolons are only used to delimit compound statements (so they're not needed after your print statements).

2. Your while-loop needs a little reformatting; for instance, here's how I'd write it:

  while True:
    new_item = input("> ")
    if new_item.upper() == 'DONE':
        break
    shopping_list.append(new_item)
    print("Added! List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))

This will break out of the loop if the user enters "Done" (case insensitive due to the .upper call). If, however, the user enters anything else, the rest of the loop body will still execute. In contrast, the way you currently have it, the loop will only prompt the user to enter a new item, or it will break out of the loop (it won't actually add the item since the body is aligned with the break statement).

Also, the continue statement is unnecessary, since the loop will either break out of its execution or it will add the item. So, there's nothing for the continue statement to skip over.

So, putting it all together, we have:

shopping_list = list()

print("What should we pick up at the store?")
print("Enter 'Done' to stop adding items.")

while True:
    new_item = input("> ")
    if new_item.upper() == 'DONE':
        break
    shopping_list.append(new_item)
    print("Added! List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))

print("Here's your list:")
for item in shopping_list:
    print(item)

It's hard to tell with whitespace but it looks like you may be alternating between spaces and tabs.
