like to turn that re.compile pattern into a MULTILINE
expression, combining the re.M and re.X flags?
Documentation says that one should be able to use the bitwise OR
operator (e.g., re.M | re.X), but I sure couldn't get it to work.
Sometimes a hammer actually is the right tool if you hit th
I'm kind of new to regular expressions, and I've spent hours trying to
finesse a regular expression to build a substitution.
What I'd like to do is extract data elements from HTML and structure
them so that they can more readily be imported into a database.

I've encountered a problem with my RegEx learning curve -- how to
escape hash characters # in strings being matched, e.g.:
>>> string = re.escape('123#abc456')
>>> match = re.match('\d+', string)
>>> print match
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00A6A800>

123

By what method would a string be inserted at each instance of a RegEx
match?
For example:
string = '123 abc 456 def 789 ghi'
newstring = ' INSERT 123 abc INSERT 456 def INSERT 789 ghi'
Here's the code I started with:
>>> rePatt = re.compile('\d+\s')
>>> iterator = rePatt.finditer(string)
>>> co
