pls help me fixing this:

import re
s = "linka la baba"
re_s = re.compile(r'(link|l)a' , re.IGNORECASE)

print re_s.findall(s)

output:
['link', 'l']

why?

As the docs say:

"If one or more groups are present in the pattern, return a list of groups;"

http://docs.python.org/library/re.html?highlight=findall#re.findall

i want my re_s to find linka and la, he just find link and l and forget
about the ending a.

Try with non-grouping parentheses:

re_s = re.compile(r'(?:link|l)a' , re.IGNORECASE)
