Get a list of numbers as input from the user

Question

I tried to use input (Py3) /raw_input() (Py2) to get a list of numbers, however with the code

numbers = input()
print(len(numbers))

the input [1,2,3] and 1 2 3 gives a result of 7 and 5 respectively – it seems to interpret the input as if it were a string. Is there any direct way to make a list out of it? Maybe I could use re.findall to extract the integers, but if possible, I would prefer to use a more Pythonic solution.

Answer 1

value = [int(num) for num in input().split()]

Output

1 2 3  4

value

Output

[1, 2, 3, 4]

print(len(value))

4

Another Way:

solution = input()

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 

numbers = list(map(int, solution.split()))
numbers

Output
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

print(len(numbers))

7
