Jon Clements <jon...@googlemail.com> added the comment:
Seems consistent to me:
.match, .search and .finditer return a MatchObject whose .group() return the
*entire matched string*. If you use .group(1) you'll get similar results to
.findall() which returns a list of (possibly of tuples) of the captured
groupings.
This is the findall equivalent (using a non-capturing group):
>>> re.findall('a(?:b)?', 'ab')
['ab']
