Also I am trying to parse the following string to extract the number after load average.
".... load average: 0.04, 0.02, 0.01"
In Python 2.4:
>>> uptime='12:12:05 up 21 days, 16:31, 10 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.04'
>>> _, avg_str = uptime.rsplit(':', 1)
>>> avg_str
' 0.01, 0.02, 0.04'
>>> avgs = [float(s) for s in avg_str.split(',')]
>>> avgs
[0.01, 0.02, 0.040000000000000001]
I took advantage of the new str.rsplit function which splits from the right side instead of the left.
