How can a single line of user input be converted into multiple variables ?

[pwilliams]

For example:
info= input('Enter name address and telephone number\n')
I have tried declaring variables in advance ie.
var1 = " " var2 = " " var3 = " " but to no avail. Can you please help ?
Thanks in anticipation.

If you are using Python 2.x, use raw_input(). To accomplish your task, the entered data must be formatted for parsing. Delimiting the data with commas will do nicely. Example, entering "Bill,101 Main St.,(888) 000-000":

>>> n,a,t = raw_input("Enter Name, Address, Telephone #").split(',')
>>> n
'Bill'
>>> a
'101 Main St.'
>>> t
'(888) 000-000'
>>>

Many thanks for such a rapid solution ; the online articles
make no reference ,to the best of my knowledge, to multiple variables for input / raw_input.

EasyGUI is a simple solution if you are entering parameters from the command line. If you are calling the program from another program and supplying parameters, then it obviously won't work. http://easygui.sourceforge.net/
