Answer 1

Just to make a clear explanation.

You can use the string method str.split() which split the string into a list. You can learn more about this method here.

Example:

def foo(x):
    x = x.split() #x is now ['1','2','3','45', ..] the spaces are removed.
    for i, v  in enumerate(x): #Loop through the list
        x[i] = int(v) #convert each element of v to an integer

That should do it!

>>> x
[1, 2, 3, 45, 87, 65, 6, 8]
