>>> str(string)
'[<div class="wx-timestamp">\n<div class="wx-subtitle
wx-timestamp">Updated: Dec 5, 2012, 5:08pm EST</div>\n</div>]'
>>> m = re.search('":\b(\w+\s+\d+,\s+\d+,\s+\d+:\d+.m\s+\w+)<',
str(string))
>>> print m
None

I'm sort of embarrassed to ask this, but I've been staring at this
regular expression for hours and can't see why it doesn't work. I'm
trying to recover the date string from the string, with no success.
Thanks in advance for the help.
