One line, three variables

Question

I am here trying to just make a simple calculator in python, and I wonder if its possible to make the 3 first lines in to one line when command run. What I mean with that is; I don't have to press enter to type the next number/operator but press space instead (in the input section).

while True:
    import operator

    num1 = int(input("Whats the first number:"))
    oper = input("Which operator would you like to use: (+,-,/,*,**,^)  :")
    num2 = int(input("Whats the second number:"))


    if oper == "+":
        x = operator.add

    elif oper == "-":
        x = operator.sub

    elif oper == "*":
        x = operator.mul

    elif oper == "/":
        x = operator.__truediv__
    elif oper == "**":
        x = operator.pow
    elif oper == "^":
        x = operator.xor

    else:
        print("invalid input")

    print(num1,oper,num2,"=",x(num1,num2))

You can use the split method of Python strings to accomplish this. Note that this code depends on three objects, separated by spaces, being entered. If more or fewer are entered or the spaces are forgotten, or either "number" is not actually an integer, there will be an error.

print("Enter a number, a space, an operator, a space, and another number.")
num1str, oper, num2str = input().split()
num1, num2 = int(num1str), int(num2str)
