How to read two inputs separated by space in a single line?

Question

I want to read two input values. First value should be an integer and the second value should be a float.

I saw Read two variables in a single line with Python, but it applies only if both the values are of same type. Do I have any other way?

Example input, first is int and second is float. The inputs should be on a single line:

20 150.50

I'm very new to Python.

Like this:

In [20]: a,b = raw_input().split() 12 12.2  In [21]: a = int(a) Out[21]: 12  In [22]: b = float(b) Out[22]: 12.2 

You can't do this in a one-liner (or at least not without some super duper extra hackz0r skills -- or semicolons), but python is not made for one-liners.
