I'm completely new to Python and coding in general. I've been asked to write a program that always asks the user to enter a number. When the user enters the negative number -1, the program should stop requesting the user to enter a number. The program must then calculate the average of the numbers entered excluding the -1. Any help would be appreciated.
Please make an effort at writing the code.
Then post your code, working or not, with any error messages, and your question.

One approach would be to write some pseudocode:
# get the user input
# is the input -1
# no:
# store the input and loop back to get another input
# yes:
# stop asking for input and process the list of inputsSo, you need to know how to get some user input and check the requirement; that's your first step.
Have you been asked to do this, with no tuition, or have you been given some tuition?
Have a look at
this site for, not only the fundamentals, but also more advanced topics.
And in the while loop, the walrus operator is ideal.
