input 2 variables separated by a comma in a single line

Question

Is it possible to input 2 numbers int or float separated by a comma in a single line?

Say after the program runs it would ask the user to <

Answer 1

num1,num2 = map(float, raw_input('Enter a range: ').split(','))

Alternatively, if you want to allow commas in the second value, use partition instead of split:

s1,_,s2 = raw_input('Enter a range: ').partition(',')

In this case, you'll have to convert the two strings to numbers by yourself.

Answer 2

num1, num2 = raw_input('Enter a range: ').split(',')

Answer 3

     x,y = input("Enter range: ")

If you want them as numbers it's best not to use raw_input.

Answer 4

In python3 you can directly use input() method instead of raw_input()

var1,var2 = input().split(',')

Answer 5

It's my understanding that ast.literal_eval is safe:

>>> x, y = ast.literal_eval(raw_input('Enter a range: '))
Enter a range: 5, 6
>>> x, y
(5, 6)
