You're using reverse slashes in your RE pattern, to start with, while the URLs contain plain slashes (or don't have any slashes, in the case of the second one). Anyway, forget REs, and use standard library module urlparse, specifically its urlparse.urlsplit function. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
