C++ string parsing (python style)

Question

I love how in python I can do something like:

points = []
for line in open(\"data.txt\"):
    a,b,c = map(float, line.split(\',\'))
    points += [(a,b,c)]
<

One of Sony Picture Imagework's open-source projects is Pystring, which should make for a mostly direct translation of the string-splitting parts:

Pystring is a collection of C++ functions which match the interface and behavior of python’s string class methods using std::string. Implemented in C++, it does not require or make use of a python interpreter. It provides convenience and familiarity for common string operations not included in the standard C++ library

There are a few examples, and some documentation
