Accepting inputs str vs int

[lbtdne]

Thanks for your help @deanhystad . I had come across the try/except set but I'd assumed as it hadn't been covered in the course I'm working through that I wouldn't need it. I've posted my final, working function below and marked solved.

def move_accept(z):
    while True:
        try:
            print("Enter the coordinates: ")
            coords_ = input()
            coords_ = coords_.split()
            if not ((0 < int(coords_[0]) <= 3) and (0 < int(coords_[1]) <= 3)):
                print("Coordinates should be from 1 to 3!")
            elif not valid_play_finder(int(coords_[0]), int(coords_[1]), z):
                print("This cell is occupied! Choose another one!")
            else:
                return coords_
        except ValueError:
            print("You should enter numbers!")
