python - Convert SRE_Match object to string

Question

The output of my re.search returns <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x10d6ed4e0> I was wondering how could I convert this to a string? or a more readable form?

Answer 1

You should do it as:

result = re.search(your_stuff_here)
if result:
    print result.group(0)

Answer 2

If you want to see all groups in order:

result = re.search(your_stuff_here)
if result:
    print result.groups()
