  • The collect’s in the middle aren’t necessary, neither is splitting by ": ". Here’s a simpler version

    fn main() {
        let text = "seeds: 79 14 55 13\nwhatever";
        let seeds: Vec<_> = text
            .lines()
            .next()
            .unwrap()
            .split_whitespace()
            .skip(1)
            .map(|x| x.parse::<u32>().unwrap())
            .collect();
        println!("seeds: {:?}", seeds);
    }
    

    It is simpler to bang out a [int(num) for num in text.splitlines()[0].split(' ')[1:]] in Python, but that just shows the happy path with no error handling, and does a bunch of allocations that the Rust version doesn’t. You can also get slightly fancier in the Rust version by collecting into a Result for more succinct error handling if you’d like.

    EDIT: Here’s also a version using anyhow for error handling, and the aforementioned Result collecting:

    use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
    
    fn main() -> Result<()> {
        let text = "seeds: 79 14 55 13\nwhatever";
        let seeds: Vec<u32> = text
            .lines()
            .next()
            .ok_or(anyhow!("No first line!"))?
            .split_whitespace()
            .skip(1)
            .map(str::parse)
            .collect::<Result<_, _>>()?;
        println!("seeds: {:?}", seeds);
        Ok(())
    }
