How can I read tuple inputs in multiple line from user?

Question

I want to read below inputs from the console: name and date combination seperated by a comma. For example:

Allegan,11-12-2013 
Douglas,29-12-2016 
Junkers,27-03-2017 
Biruinta,10-04-2014 
ABC,27-03-2017 

Answer 1

You can simply use split(",") . Just take input and split it.

name, date = input("Enter something: "). split(",")
print("Name: " + name + " and Date:" + date)

Input: Allegan,11-12-2013

Output: Name: Allegan and Date:11-12-2013

Answer 2

It looks like your reading a csv file ( Comma-separated values ) over stdin. If that is the case you could use the csv module like this:

from sys import stdin
import csv

for row in csv.reader(stdin):
    print(row)

['Allegan', '11-12-2013']
['Douglas', '29-12-2016']
['Junkers', '27-03-2017']
['Biruinta', '10-04-2014']
['ABC', '27-03-2017']
