Hey Bobby,
if I understand you correctly instead of accepting any character after
the first slash (.*) you want to accept any character but another slash
([^\/]*) and no characters after the second slash ($):
r'\/foo\/[^\/]*\/$'
This will match "/foo/bar/" but not "/foo/bar/baz" or "/foo/bar/baz/".
It will not match "/foo/" (neither does your original regexp).
Cheers,
-Jakob
