Hi Derek,
you are iterating over the input string, this will result in single
chars in each iteration of your for loop.
You could use `split` on your string to split the string into a list,
splitted by comma.
Instead of:
> vols = []
> vols = input("Please enter your volume ids, comma delimited? ")
> for vols in vols :
> vols = vols.rstrip()
Do the following:
vols = input("Please enter your volume ids, comma delimited? ")
for vol in vols.replace(" ", "").split(","):
# dome something with your vol
The creation of an empty list isn't needed.
You shouldn't name the element of the iteration the same as the object
you are iterating on. So instead of `for vols in vols` use for `vol in
vols` as inside the loop you are working on a single volume instead of
multiples.
The `replace` will remove all your whitespace (as it seems your strings
don't need/dont' want them). Next the `split` will split your input
elements comma seperated into a list for the iteration by the `for` loop.
