Probably something wrong with the regex.
Try substituting the regex for a simple string and check that it works.
If so then crank up the interpreter and experiment with the regex 
until it does what you want.

As someone already suggested, the interpreter is your friend, 
experiment there till you know how all the parts wull work then 
start gluing them together.

This kind of hands-on interactive programming is one of Pythons
most powerful features, use it to the full.
