I have a text file and the first line provides the best score of a game. This

Best score : 42
In order to update the score, I try to retrieve the score value.
In C, we would manage this with the following statement :
fscanf(foo_file, "Best score : %d", &score);
Does Python provide an equivalent ?
Not an exact one, but it's still easily accomplished:
score = int(foo_file.read().split(":").strip())
One must, of course, select the second item from the list returned by
.split. The .strip() seems not to be needed, at least in 3.1, as int()
ignores whitespace.
>>> s='Best score : 42\n'
>>> int(s.split(':')[1])
42
