Asking for a list of numbers from the user

Question

I would need to work with a list of numbers given from the user, but I think if I ask a user to give me a list, he would't be able to put the brackets []. So if I write :

input('Please enter a list of numbers ')

he won't be able to do it so simply. And I also want to ask the user how many times numbers should I put in that list. But how can ask the user to input me say n numbers so that I can use that in a list.

Briefly: `numbers = [int(x) for x in input('Please enter your numbers, separated by a space: ').split()]` for Python 3. For Python 2, replace `input` with `raw_input`. — TigerhawkT3, Jan 18 '16 at 09:46

Ask for numbers separated with spaces then use this:

my_list = [int(x) for x in input('Please enter a list of numbers ').split()]
