Taking an input of any length of number and splitting them one character each

Question

I'm a few weeks into learning python and I am trying to write a script that takes an input of any length of numbers and splits them in one-character lengths. like this: input:

123456

output:

1           2            3            4            5            6

I need to do this without using strings, and preferably using divmod... something like this:

 s = int(input("enter numbers you want to split:"))
     while s > 0:
         s, remainder = divmod(s, 10)

I'm not sure how to get the spacing right.

Thank you for the help.

Answer 1

What about the following using the remainder:

s = 123456
output = []
while s > 0:
    s, r = divmod(s, 10)
    output.append(r)

fmt='{:<12d}'*len(output)
print fmt.format(*output[::-1])

Output:

1           2           3           4           5           6

This also uses some other useful Python stuff: the list of digits can be reversed (output[::-1]) and formatted into 12-character fields, with the digit aligned on the left ({:<12d}).
