I was confused by \s+ and \S+ in python.
The second one (\S+) is stand for matching all alphabets except for digit and space? How about the first one?

From the docs:

\s
Matches any whitespace character; this is equivalent to the set [ \t\n\r\f\v].


\S
Matches any non-whitespace character; this is equivalent to the set [^ \t\n\r\f\v].
