Here is one possible implementation of your project.
*Code:*
#Dont use list as a variable name, its one of the reserved words.
mylist = []
#realize any values captured here are strings
x = raw_input('Enter num or text: ')
mylist.append(x)
x = raw_input('Enter num or text: ')
mylist.append(x)
#output the type of objects you've entered (hint: they'll always be
strings.. ;)
print type(mylist[0])
print type(mylist[1])
#print the list of items
for i in mylist:
print i
*When you run the program:*
Enter num or text: 27
Enter num or text: Eric
<type 'str'>
<type 'str'>
27
