Or if you want to assign these 4 numbers to separate variables, you can use tuple unpacking: a,b,c,d = map(int, raw_input('Type 4 numbers separated ' 'by spaces:').split()) If you want to do error handling later, you may need to split this line into two steps so that you can distinguish between invalid values and wrong count of values (less or more than 4).
