I want to create something that looks like this: many circles of the same size next to each other
However, I want the number of circles to be determined by user input. I can't seem to find any information on how I might go about this.
Here's what i have so far but it does not accomplish my goals.
import turtle
print("How many circles?")
circnum = input()
#Summoning the turtle
t = turtle.Turtle()
#circling the circle
for i in circnum:
r = 25
t.circle(r)
Many thanks!

You need to make circnum a number so that you can make a range to iterate over, and you need to move the turtle in between circles so you aren't just drawing the same circle on top of itself over and over.
import turtle
print("How many circles?")
circnum = int(input())
#Summoning the turtle
t = turtle.Turtle()
#circling the circle
for _ in range(circnum):
t.circle(25)
t.forward(5)

I agree with @Samwise's suggestions ( 1) but if you're using standard Python 3 turtle, and not some older version or subset, I say get rid of input() and go full turtle on it:
from turtle import Screen, Turtle
RADIUS = 25
DISTANCE = 10
screen = Screen()
number_circles = screen.numinput("A Circle in a Spiral", "How many circles?", default=10, minval=1, maxval=30)
if number_circles:
# Summoning the turtle
turtle = Turtle()
turtle.speed('fast') # because I have little patience
# Circling the circle
for _ in range(int(number_circles)): # numinput() returns a float
turtle.circle(RADIUS)
turtle.forward(DISTANCE)
screen.exitonclick()
else:
# user hit 'Cancel' in the number input dialog
screen.bye()
