Python - why are my numbers not storing correctly

I am trying to take in a string of numbers, such as:

1 2 3 4 55 33 15

and store them in a list as they appear so that I can operate on the items at each index in the list, but they aren't splitting and storing right. They store like:

1,2,3,4,5,5,3,3,1,5

which is not what I want. My current code is attached below. I thought they would store as:

1,2,3,4,5,55,33,15

I do convert them to ints later on and that works fine, this is just the part that I am stuck on.

numbersArrayTemp.append(userInput.readline().strip(' ').strip('\n'))


for item in numbersArrayTemp:
    print(item)
    Type = item.strip('\n')
    print(Type)
    j = item.replace(" ", '')

   numbersArrayString.extend(j)

You say you want to store those numbers in a list, and then you contradict yourself and say you want to store them like `1,2,3,4,5,55,33,15`. Which is it? – Aran-Fey Jun 03 '18 at 07:01
In a list, but as whole numbers, not split up where 55 is 5,5. There will be something in the above code that is making it not work properly but I can't see it. – PKconversion Jun 03 '18 at 07:05
Try `.split()` on the string! – Klaus D. Jun 03 '18 at 07:07
Your code never splits the string, so of course it doesn't work. – Aran-Fey Jun 03 '18 at 07:07
