How to input 2 integers in one line in Python?

I wonder if it is possible to input two or more integer numbers in one line of standard input. In C/C++ it's easy:

C++:

#include <iostream>
int main() {
    int a, b;
    std::cin >> a >> b;
    return 0;
}

C:

#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
    int a, b;
    scanf("%d%d", &a, &b);
}

In Python, it won't work:

script.py:

#!/usr/bin/python3
a = int(input())
b = int(input())

$ python3 script.py
3 5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 2, in <module>
    a = int(input())
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3 5'

So how to do it?

In python, every time we use input() function it directly switches to the next line. To use multiple inline inputs, we have to use split() method along with input function by which we can get desired output.

a, b = [int(z) for z in input().split()]
print(a, b)

Input:

3 4

Output:

3 4

If you are using Python 2, then the answer provided by Martijn does not work. Instead,use:

a, b = map(int, raw_input().split())

Split the entered text on whitespace:

a, b = map(int, input().split())

Demo:

>>> a, b = map(int, input().split())
3 5
>>> a
3
>>> b
5
