What I get on Python console:

Are you sure that you copied/pasted that directly from the console
instead of transcribing it with some mistake?
I just did the same thing at the console and it worked perfectly
fine
$ python

Thanks. It did be caused by unclear copy&paste. I shall be careful in future.
When I enter:
counter=100
counter
100
When I get match result:
pattern='abcd'
prog = re.compile(pattern)
string='abcd'
result = prog.match(string)
result
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x6ffffeda5e0>
result.group(0)
'abcd'
It looks like 'result' is different from a simple 'counter' variable. I do not
yet find the definition of 'result' object. What do you call 'result' object?
Where can I find it (what topic would be in a tutorial)?
Thanks,
>>> help(result)
Help on SRE_Match object:
class SRE_Match(builtins.object)
