I guess you want to:
a) read a single line containing many numbers separated by white space
b) convert them to a list of floating point numbers
c) print their minimum and maximum value

a) Already done
>> z = raw_input ('Give numbers')

b) Already done
>> y = z.split()
>> b=[]
>> for i in y:
>>      b.append(float(i))

The list of numbers is called "b". Don't define a function with the same  
name, you'll lose the original list attached to the name "b".

c) Almost done; remember that your list of numbers is called "b" not "a":

>> print min(b)
>> print max(b)

d) We (Python and me) have no idea what "gem" is:

>> print gem(b)
