I tried to use raw_input() to get a list of numbers, however with the code
raw_input()
numbers = raw_input() print len(numbers)
the input
k = [] i = int(raw_input('enter the number of values in the list ')) l = 0 while l < i: p = raw_input('enter the string ') k.append(p) l= l+1 print "list is ", k
