How to input an integer tuple from user?

Question

Presently I am doing this

print 'Enter source'
source = tuple(sys.stdin.readline())

print 'Enter target'
target = tuple(sys.stdin.readline())

but source and target become string tuples in this case with a \n at the end

Answer 1

tuple(int(x.strip()) for x in raw_input().split(','))

Answer 2

Turns out that int does a pretty good job of stripping whitespace, so there is no need to use strip

tuple(map(int,raw_input().split(',')))

For example:

>>> tuple(map(int,"3,4".split(',')))
(3, 4)
>>> tuple(map(int," 1 , 2 ".split(',')))
(1, 2)
