Thanks. I try this:

but when the 'line' is http://www.cnn.com, I get 's2' com,
but i want 'cnn.com' (everything after the first '.'), how can I do
that?

pattern = re.compile("http:\/\/(.*)\.(.*)", re.S)


    match = re.findall(pattern, line)

    if (match):

        s1, s2 = match[0]

        print s2
