User input + spaces

Question

Hi, the input is like: num1+num2
I need to split input into 3 fragments: 'num1', '+', 'num2'.
But if the user input without spaces, Python treats it like one string (so I cant use index).
Can I enforce user's input to add the spaces (num1_space_ + _space_ num2?
Thank you!

Answer 1

If you're going to use eval(), there's a much simpler way
>>> eval(input())
21*2
42
