N numbers on input

[pizet]

Hello. Often in problems you to read n space seperated numbers on input.
I was just wandering wheather there is a more "elegant" or more "pythonic"
approach to this task. What I've use so far was:

[bbone=python,279]disired_n_numbers = input().split()
for i in range(len(desired_n_numbers)):
desired_n_numbers[i] = int(desired_n_numbers[i])[/bbone]

Thank you for help.

EDIT: Maybe I should mention, that I use python 3.2.

map is always a good choice for that task. For py3 you need to use list additionally if you want to store the data.
Another idea is a list comprehension. Also try to avoid len.

For py3 you need to use list additionally if you want to store the data.

If the number of values is fix and small, you can also use iterator unpacking:
[bbone=python,277]>>> a,b = map(int,"3 4".split())

a
3
b
4
[/bbone]

This works just perfectly:
[bbone=python,280]desited_n_numbers = list(map(int, input().split()))[/bbone]

I'm not a python expert and I agree with you, that this may be the way to do it. However I'm a bit disappoitend. Because I thought python to be a nice clear languge, something like pseudocode. I mean you just read it and you know what it's doing. But this examle proves me wrong I think... but anyway, it doeasn't matter.

Thanks for help.

If you are not familiar with map then the code looks perhaps a little strange. But otherwise I'd say this is pretty easy. You read it and you know what it does. Dont forget what this little piece of code does: you read a line. you split it into sub strings and finally you convert them into integers and store the list. There is a lot more code necessary in other prog. languages. In py2 that can be achieved even simpler because you dont need the list call.
And dont forget to take look and understand numerix' example which can be applied if the number of elements is constant and not so big.

Well I just use comprehensions when I feel map-list thingy becomes too heavy:
[bbone=python,284]numbers = [int(x) for x in line.split()][/bbone]
