Create a tuple from an input in Python

Question

Here is my example:

>>> a=input ('some text : ')  # value entered is 1,1
>>> print (a)
1,1

I want as a result a tuple (1, 1)

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You could do something like

a = tuple(int(x) for x in a.split(","))

Answer 2

You could interpret the input as Python literals with ast.literal_eval():

import ast

a = ast.literal_eval(input('some text: '))

This function will accept any input that look like Python literals, such as integers, lists, dictionaries and strings:

>>> ast.literal_eval('1,1')
(1, 1)

Answer 3

It's very simple.

 tup = tuple(input("enter tuple"))
 print(tup)    

This will work.

Answer 4

It can be done in the following way.

a = '3, 5, 7, 23'

out = tuple(map(int, a.split(",")))

print(out)

(3, 5, 7, 23)

Answer 5

>>> a = input()
(21, 51, 65, 45, 48, 36, 8)
>>> m = eval(a)
>>> type(m)
<class 'tuple'>
