Storing a tuple of integers from user into a list

Question

I am supposed to take input of two numbers separated by spaces from the user, save it in a tuple and then put that tuple in a list.

What I tried was

>>> n=[]
>>> n.append(tuple(raw_input().strip().split(' ')))
1 2

the output was

>>> n
[('1','2')]

I require an output of the form

>>> n
[(1,2)]

Answer 1

Cast the output into integers:

>>> n=[]
>>> n.append(tuple(int(x) for x in raw_input().strip().split(' ')))
1 2
>>> n
[(1, 2)]

Answer 2

Use map

>>> n = []
>>> n.append(tuple(map(int, raw_input().strip().split())))

You need not call split(' ') explicitly as split splits the string based on space by default
