Hi All,

I'm starting to learn python. I was looking for a python equivalent to a perl regular expression such as

$_ = "FreeBSD"; /(.*)BSD/;

where $1 would get what ever is between '(...)', 'Free' in this case.

Is there a way i can make use of the () regex operator in python? I can't seem to find an equivalent in python's regex module (re).

Thanks, --brad
