that's more of a list manipulation question than a regular expression
question, of course. to apply a regular expression to all items in a
list, apply it to all items in a list. a list comprehension is the shortest
way to do this:
>>> out = [word for word in wordList if re.match("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", word)]
>>> out
['[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]']
