Pairwise2 Biopython Module Get The Score In Variable

I'm using pairwise2 module from biopython, Is it possible to get the score in a variable and how ? I tried the following and it didn't work :

from Bio import pairwise2
from Bio.pairwise2 import format_alignment

for a in pairwise2.align.localms("ACCGT", "ACGC",1,-1,-2,-2):
    score= a.score
alignment python biopython

is it possible to give the sequence files as input to pairwise2??
