Working sscanf for Python (preferrably py3k)?

I have seen this question, but I am having problems with the top solution. For example:

>>> scanf.sscanf("\"test\"","\"%s\"")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "scanf.py", line 393, in sscanf
    return bscanf(CharacterBufferFromIterable(inputString), formatString)
  File "scanf.py", line 414, in bscanf
    return parser(buffer)
  File "scanf.py", line 577, in __call__
    raise IncompleteCaptureError(e, tuple(results))
scanf.IncompleteCaptureError: (FormatError('" != ',), ('test"',))
>>>

What am I doing wrong? Is this not supposed to work?

I wrapped the parse module:

from parse import parse
parse("\"%s\"".replace("%s","{}"), "\"test\"").fixed
