I want to prompt the user only once to enter 5 numbers. I then want to
create a list out of those five numbers. How can I do that?
I know how to do it if I prompt the user 5 different times, but I only
want to prompt the user once.
Thanks.

You can take your input from your user in one line seperated by
something like a space and then split it after you capture it so for eg.
user_input = raw_input('enter 5 numbers seperated by a space each: ')
list_from_input = user_input.split() # Split by default splits on
spaces, otherwise you need to specify the delimiter
# Then you can validate the list to ensure all 5 are actually numbers,
otherwise prompt the user to re-enter them
Hope that help.
