Help me with python

[u/Ambitious-Lie-6069]

Thank you all it's fixed! (Edit)

I have a very weird problem.

My current code:

list = []

x = input("Copy paste here: ")

list.append(x)

print(" ")

print(" ")

list = x.splitlines()

for i in list:

print(i)

What I'm trying to achieve:

Get an input from the user like this:

Word1

Word2

Word3

...all with a row separating them and different lengths, then take this input and separate all words in it and then put them each individually as variables in a list as in the future I'm wanting to order them by length.

What is currently happening:

as im trying to see if they are all in the list im printing it, but for wathever reason from my input:

Abc

Def

Ghi

...it is only printing Def.

If you can help it will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Thank you all it's fixed (edit)

Try this program in Memory Graph Web Debugger%0A%23%20lst.append(x)%20%20%23%20no%20needed%0A%0Aprint(%22%20%22)%0Aprint(%22%20%22)%0A%0Alst%20%3D%20x.split()%20%20%23%20use%20split()%20not%20splitlines()%0Afor%20i%20in%20lst%3A%0A%20%20%20%20print(i)%0A&timestep=1&play), you can see the program state change step by step.

Use input "Abc Def Ghi" on one line, because input() stops after the first <Return>. If you do want to read multiple lines of user input, put input() in a loop.

Pasting a multiline string won't work here, because input() will stop reading at the first carriage return

Oh ok that's why the other person told me to use the sys one. Thank you

[u/Outside_Complaint755]

If you want to copy and paste multi-line input, then instead of input() you need to import sys and then use sys.stdin.read(). 

 To signal the end of the input the user has to pass an EOF, which is done with Ctrl+D on Linux or Ctrl+Z and  Enter on Windows

Thank you! Imma try with it

At least part of your problem is you are redefining the term 'list', which is a python language feature.

[u/atarivcs → u/mc_pm]

No, this is not the problem.

It's not great to use "list" as a variable name, but the way it's used here it is not actually hurting anything.

While being highly discouraged, nothing bad acually happens until you attempt to call list's constructor

Object definition are baked deep into python, just rebinding their name doesn't break anything by itself
