title: Extract latitude and longitude from coordinates
body: <p>I have this sort of data, and I want to extract the latitude and longitude in Python.</p>
  
  <pre><code>col[index]=
  52.420223333,-1.904525
  52.420221667,-1.904531667
  52.420221667,-1.904536667
  52.42022,-1.904545
  52.420218333,-1.904553333
  52.420216667,-1.904556667
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know how to do this in PHP, but wasn't sure how to implement it in Python:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sscanf($string, '"(%f, %f)"', $lat, $lng);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  This code runs and outputs the coordinates above</p>
  
  <pre><code>for index in range(len(col)):
      print col[index]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the for loop, is it possible to get the lat and long data. e.g. for the first iteration, lat=52.420223333 and lon=-1.904525.</p>
