Ok thanks all for answers. Not counting .split() methods and regexps,
there's nothing interesting.
But I remember that lambda function also was unwelcome in Python, but
finally it is and is doing well. So maybe someone, someday decide to
put in Python an alternative, really great implementation of scanf() ?
