the string into substrings and then convert each substring to an
integer.
This I have now done by using eval(). But now I wonder whether that
is actually clever because it is supposed to be similarly
problematic as the input() function in terms of security.
Absolutely. The more open and general you make your code
the more opportunity you provide for attacks. Converting to
int/float is much safer.
