user input for multi-dimentional list without a prior iteration using input()
#1
Hello to my fellow python users,
I am new to python programming and while learning I faced a specific problem which require me to input a multi-dimentional list from user.
I tried using
# input multi-dimensional list from user
l = list(list(input().split())) # this part is not working as I required
print("""in print()""")
print(l)
print("""in loop""")
for i in l : 
  print(l)

in the hope of inserting multi-dimensional list from the user through input() function but it did't worked.

[inline]
# input given by user
D 500 W 600
[/inline]

Output:
# given output in print() ['D', '500', 'W', '600'] in loop ['D', '500', 'W', '600'] ['D', '500', 'W', '600'] ['D', '500', 'W', '600'] ['D', '500', 'W', '600']
Output:
# Expected output in print() [['D', '500'], ['W', '600']] in loop ['D', '500'] ['W', '600']
So, here I am asking my fellow python users to kindly help me with this specific problem if there is a default available because I have tried with row iteration to get the number of rows but that trick is completely separate from what the question generally wants to asks because I already search the google but it didn't give me the required answer. [the number of columns for the inside list is 'n' and the type is <list object>[[<string object>]]]
Kindly, help me to get a solution.
Thank you.
