How to enter an integer tuple from a user?

Question

I'm currently doing this

print 'Enter source' source = tuple(sys.stdin.readline()) print 'Enter target' target = tuple(sys.stdin.readline()) 

but the source and target become string tuples in this case with \ n at the end

Answer 1

 tuple(int(x.strip()) for x in raw_input().split(',')) 

Answer 2

It turns out that int does a pretty good job of removing spaces, so there is no need to use strip

 tuple(map(int,raw_input().split(','))) 

For example:

 >>> tuple(map(int,"3,4".split(','))) (3, 4) >>> tuple(map(int," 1 , 2 ".split(','))) (1, 2) 

Answer 3

If you still want the user to be prompted twice, etc.

 print 'Enter source' source = sys.stdin.readline().strip() #strip removes the \n print 'Enter target' target = sys.stdin.readline().strip() myTuple = tuple([int(source), int(target)]) 

It is probably less pythonic, but more didactically ...

Answer 4

 t= tuple([eval(x) for x in input("enter the values: ").split(',')])
