I suggest that you work through the re HOWTO
http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/
and by work through, I don't mean "read". I mean as each new concept
is introduced:
1. try the given example(s) yourself at the interactive prompt
2. try variations on the examples
3. read the relevant part of the Library Reference Manual

Also I'd suggest reading threads in this newsgroup where people are
asking for help with re.

HTH,
