How do I input multiple values from a single line?

Question

How to take a line input in python Consider I need to take input in a line consisting integers seperated by spaces I want to give 5 6 and store them in a and b

a=input()
b=input()

If I take in above format, it takes only when I press enter

The input function "… reads a line from input …", which is why you have to hit enter after for each value. To accept multiple values on a line, you want to just input once, then parse the line (which is easy, as @saliesh shows). — abarnert

I've tagged this with python-3.x, because the accepted answer is wrong for 2.x. If you're on 2.x, please edit to change the tag, and leave @saliesh a comment so he can change his answer appropriately (to use raw_input, and to explain why). — abarnert

Its very simple

j,k=input().split(" ")
j=int(j)
k=int(k)

input().split() does the same thing you don't need " "

As a one-line solution j,k = map(int, input().split())

@PadraicCunningham: In fact, it's probably better to use split(); if the user types 3 4 with two spaces, it will probably be surprising to get a ValueError: too many tuple values to unpack (expected 2)…
