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.
