User input into a string Python 2.7

Question

I'm trying to enter user input into a string in two places in python 2.7.12 I want it to look something like this

 import os
 1 = input()
 2 = input()
 print os.listdir("/home/test/1/2")

I know you can use .format() to input into string but the only way I know how to do it is

 print os.listdir("/home/test/{0}".format(1))

but I couldn't figure out how to enter a second input into the string. sorry for any confusion, I'm kinda new to Stack Overflow. If you have any questions please ask.

Answer 1

import os
segment1 = input()
segment2 = input()
print os.listdir("/home/test/{}/{}".format(segment1, segment2))

1 and 2 are not legal variable names, so 1 = input() will cause an error.

You can use as many variables as you want in your format string; just pass them as additional parameters to .format(...). In the format string, you can use {0}, {1}, etc., or you can just use {} positionally. (The first {} refers to the first parameter, the second {} to the second parameter, etc.).
