Use raw_input() instead of input() [at least until you switch to Python 3.x].
input() does an implicit eval() of the keyboard input, which is (in
part) causing your problem.
Note that you'll need to explicitly convert the string raw_input()
reads in using either int() or float() as appropriate.

Still, you can't just enter extra lines and expect the program to
automatically ignore them. You'll have to write the extra code
yourself to handle empty input from the user.

Cheers,
Chris
