Seem to be a lot of regular expression questions lately. There is a neat little RE demonstrator buried down in Python24/Tools/Scripts/redemo.py, which makes it easy to experiment with regular expressions and immediately see the effect of changes. It would be helpful if it were mentioned in the RE documentation, although I can understand why one might not want a language reference to deal with informally-supported tools.
