cin

[Grzegorz Makarewicz]

Hi,

Try very old module named sscanf sources in
ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/misc/sscanf.c and sscanf.README
#--snip--
import sscanf
fmt='My name is %s and I am %d years old.'
data=('Michael', 30)
result=fmt %data
print result
print sscanf.sscanf(result,fmt)
#/--snip--

output:
My name is Michael and I am 30 years old.
['Michael', 30]
