Exiting while loop by pressing enter without block

So I've been doing a little bit of reading up on how to exit a while loop by the user pressing the enter key and I've come up with the following:

import sys, select, os

switch = 1
i = 1
while switch == 1:
    os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
    print "I'm doing stuff. Press Enter to stop me!"
    print i
    while sys.stdin in select.select([sys.stdin], [], [], 0)[0]:
        line = raw_input()
        if not line:
            print "Finished! =]"
            switch = 0
        else:
            print "Finished! =]"
            switch = 0
    i = i+1

Is there a way to tidy this up? In particular the "if not line" and the following "else" look messy. Can they be combined into one? A better alternative to using "switch"?

Initially if I typed a bunch of characters and then hit enter it didn't stop the loop. I would have to press enter again. The if not and else components are intended to set it up such that it would exit on the first press of enter.

This worked for me:

import sys, select, os

i = 0
while True:
    os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
    print "I'm doing stuff. Press Enter to stop me!"
    print i
    if sys.stdin in select.select([sys.stdin], [], [], 0)[0]:
        line = raw_input()
        break
    i += 1

You only need to check for the stdin being input once (since the first input will terminate the loop). If the conditions line/not line have result for you, you can combine them to one if statement. Then, with only one while statement being used, you can now use break instead of setting a flag.
