I am familiar with the input() function, to read a single variable from user input. Is there a similar easy way to read two variables?
I’m looking for the equivalent of:
scanf("%d%d", &i, &j); // accepts "10 20n"
One way I am able to achieve this is to use raw_input()
and then split
what was entered. Is there a more elegant way?
This is not for live use. Just for learning..

Answer
No, the usual way is raw_input().split()
In your case you might use map(int, raw_input().split())
if you want them to be integers rather than strings
Don’t use input()
for that. Consider what happens if the user enters
import os;os.system('do something bad')
