[Posting your overly long set of data lines with a '>' quote at the 
beginning of each line was a nuisance. Reposted with few lines. I will 
let you compare your code to mine.]

bin = ['2598.95165', '2541.220308', '221068.0401', 'end', '4834.581952',

  '346.5905371', 'end']

def average(bin):
     num=[]
     total = 0.0
     count=0
     for number in bin:
         if number!='end':
             total += float(number)
             count+=1
         else:
             num.append(total/count)
             total = 0.0
             count= 0
     return num

print(average(bin))
