Taking input for a list in Python can be done using the input() function and some additional processing. Here are two examples:

Example 1:

numbers = input("Enter a list of numbers: ").split()
numbers = [int(num) for num in numbers]
print(numbers)

Input:

Enter a list of numbers: 1 2 3 4 5

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Example 2:

words = input("Enter a list of words: ").split()
print(words)

Input:

Enter a list of words: apple banana orange kiwi

Output:

[‘apple’, ‘banana’, ‘orange’, ‘kiwi’]
