Splitting two integers into separate variables [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to split an input of two integers separated by a space such as '1 2' to be split into two separate variables? I have tried

ratio = input() a,b = ratio.split(' ')

but it returns an error message of 'SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing'.

Try using raw_input() instead of input()

It can't be a raw_input() because the numbers need to be integers

You can write it as a,b = map(int, ratio.split(' '))
