from random import random
from sys import exit

while True:
    try:
        N = int(raw_input("Enter size of the matrix: "))
    except ValueError:
        print "Invalid input. Try again."
    except EOFError:
        exit(1)
    else:
        break

a = [[random() for j in xrange(N)] for i in xrange(N)]
stringified = "\n".join("\t".join(row) for row in a)
print stringified


If you're doing serious work with matrices, look at the NumPy package.
