Python - Split a string into a list/array, convert a string to a long/int

The following Python example shows how to split a string into a list, get the second element from the list (which happens to be a long), and convert that string to a long value:

line = 'Foo bar baz|1234567890'
ts = line.split('|', 1)[1]
t = long(ts)

I needed to do this for my Radio Pi project, and this code worked out well.
