You'll also want to use python's "raw" strings for regexps...this
isn't the regexp you think it is. You likely want
r'^(192\.188\.)(.*)(\.20)$'
As your pattern was originally, the "\." bits get unescaped as
just "." because there is no "\." escape-character. It then
becomes just "^(192.188.)(.*)(.20)$" and would match
192Z188Xabcdefg920
[......][.....][.] <- matched groups
which I don't think is what you meant. And as one other aside,
do you mean "192.168" (a popular private subnet block) instead of
"192.188"? Though this is just a matter of what you mean, and
you may really mean "192.188"
