Hello,

I often need to parse strings which contain a mix of characters, integers and floats, the C-language scanf function is very practical for this purpose. I've been looking for such a feature and I have been quite surprised to find that it has been discussed as far back as 2001 but never implemented.

The second Google hit is a pure Python implementation of scanf.
