using map(int, raw_input().split())

Question

Though I like python very much, When I need to get multiple integer inputs in the same line, I prefer C/C++. If I use python, I use:

a = map(int, raw_input().split())

Is this the only way or is there any pythonic way to do it? And does this cost much as far as time is considered?

Answer 1

List comprehensions!

Intuitive and pythonic:

a = [int(i) for i in raw_input().split()]
