Whilst technically the first loop does absolutely nothing, it does actually count as a loop and so the second loop counts as the nested loop so yeah, 8 lines long, would love more challenges like this!
For gosh sake, use Python 3+!
I'll let this one pass because I like it, but... technically wouldn't this be printing multiple asterisks each iteration breaking one of the rules? What do you think?

Well technically it's printing them in a loop, yeah it does break the rule you specified about single printing.
So I will re-do the challenge and make it print singularly.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
symbol = "*"
var = 1
rnd = 0
tim = 0
while var == 1:
while tim < 9:
if var == 1 and rnd == 0:
print " " + symbol
var += 2
tim += 1
elif var == 3 and rnd == 0:
print " " + symbol * var
var += 2
tim += 1
elif var == 5 and rnd == 0:
print " " + symbol * var
var += 2
tim += 1
elif var == 7 and rnd == 0:
print symbol * var
rnd = 1
tim += 1
elif var == 7 and rnd == 1:
var -= 2
tim += 1
print " " + symbol * var
elif var == 5 and rnd == 1:
var -= 2
tim += 1
print " " + symbol * var
elif var == 3 and rnd == 1:
var -= 2
tim += 1
print " " + symbol * var
exit()There we go @GOD I managed to adhere to the only printing it once rule.

the loop doesn't break properly and I cba to fix it when I'm this tired so it's a dirty way to end the python script.

Oh okay. It actually bothered me because when I run the script it automatically brings up a prompt asking me to kill the program, and clicking yes ends the shell.

haha yeah, I just use linux terminals so it exits for me.
