Summary: re.groups misbehaviour

Initial Comment:
import re
 
pat = "[0-9][0-9]"
s="22 the quick 100 brown fox jumps 44 over the xx lazy 33 dog"
 
r = re.compile(pat)
mo = r.match(s)
print mo.groups()
print mo.group(0)

I expected that mo.groups() returns for this testcase a tuple with  3 elements ('22','44','33)
but instead it returns (). mo.group(0) returns as expected '22'.
Is this a bug or an error in the documentation ?
