I have an input in this format

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

So I want to get this input from user so when I get the input by:

emails = input("Provide emails")

User just could copy and paste the whole lists of email given one under one, seperarted by new line into this variable so then I can use .splitlines() to get the e-mail to seperate spaces so I can use them for something. For whatever reason it doesn't want to accept such input, when I try to give as little as two e-mail, one after the other, seperated by new line. I get following error

Provide [email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
> 
> [email protected]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'someemailadress' is not defined

why is happening?

`while (email := input()): emails.append(email)` – Olvin Roght Jan 29 '22 at 14:30
I doesn't do anything, just get stuck in eternal loop and I want to take input in one go, copy paste enter and go, not give every e-mail separately – sadsad adasdas Jan 29 '22 at 14:35
It does append every line into a list `emails` until empty string will be passed. So paste all emails and press "Enter". – Olvin Roght Jan 29 '22 at 14:39
