How to turn inputted words into a list of URLs in Python?

Question

I am a newbie. I am trying to generate a list of links from words inputted in Python. But it always produces only the last link although I input more than one.

I have tried to look for the answers but just cannot seem to find the right one. Maybe I am still too inexperienced to understand and apply them to my case. Anyway, how can I fix this?

My code:

search = input()

Split = search.split(' ')
print(Split)

for word in Split:  
    URL = 'https://samplenotspamdotcom/'+word
    print(URL)

URL_List = URL.split(' ')  
print(URL_List)

My output:

['https://samplenotspamdotcom/not']

Expected output:

['https://samplenotspamdotcom/why', 'https://samplenotspamdotcom/not']

Answer 1

You have two options to achieve that first option is to concatenate links with a space in between each link and then split them on space or create a blank list and in loop add them to the list.

Option 1:

URL = ''
for word in Split:  
    URL += 'https://samplenotspamdotcom/'+word+' '
    print(URL)
URL.strip() #to remove any extra space on the end
URL_List = URL.split(' ')  
print(URL_List)

Option2

URLS = []
for word in Split:  
    URLS.append('https://samplenotspamdotcom/'+word)
print(URLS)
