Correct !! For once ;) the Manual gives an inambiguous answer :

----------------------
Simulating scanf() .-- Python does not currently have an equivalent to scanf().
Regular expressions are generally more powerful, though also more verbose, than
scanf() format strings.

I'm realizing that using re module is worthwhile but I never tried to learn it.
