  I read this in a shell newsgroup:

perl -anE '$s += $F[1]; END {say $s}' in

  , so I wrote

py -c "import sys; print(sum(int(F.split()[1])for F in sys.stdin))" <in

  to show that this is possible with Python too. 

  But now people complain that it's longer than the Perl version.

  Do you see ways to make it shorter (beyond removing one space
  after the semicolon ";")?
