arcgis desktop - Using ArcPy to zoom to Y,X (string) coordinate pair copy/pasted from Google Maps?


I frequently use google maps to find locations, and paste the coordinates into the "go to XY" toolbar in decimal degrees. It's a bit repetitive to paste the latitude into one box, and the longitude into another. Is there a quicker way of zooming to a location with a string in the "google maps" coordinate format such as:



-29.948153, 146.864276


I was thinking I could make a python tool, but I can only find code for "zoom to selected features" (http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00s300000003000000)


I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10.0.
