I am trying to understand why regex is not extracting all of the

The complete string is the xmp IFD data extracted from a .CR2 image

I do have a work around, but it's messy and possibly not future proof.
Do you mean future proof your workaround or Cannon's .CR2 raw image
files might change? I guess .CR2's won't change but Cannon have
brought out the new .CR3 raw image file for which I needed to upgrade
my photo editing suit (at least I didn't but used their tool to
convert .CR3s from the camera to the digital negative format which
many photo editors can handle.) Can send you sample .CR3 if you want
to compare.

Thank you.
Some background
The application is for personal use. Why I'm familiar with python
generally (and thanks to all who post code and answer questions), this
is the first time I have used structs to read a binary file, xml parsers
to parse some of the RFD contents and re.
First
I have now discovered that when print the return of re.search that the
matched='truncates the matched characters'. To see/get all found
characters I need to use the span as indexes to the original string. I'm
not sure if this is mentioned in the re documentation. But all the
samples I've seen on the web use only small strings. This was the cause
of my question.
for example
import re
data = '''
<dc:creator>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li>abcdef zxcvb</rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</dc:creator>
'''
re_pattern =r'( *<dc:.*</dc:)' x = re.search(re_pattern, data, re.DOTALL)
print(x)
print(data[x.span()[0] : x.span()[1]])
returns
<_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(1, 89), match=' <dc:creator>\n <rdf:Seq>\n
<rdf:li>abcd>
<dc:creator>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li>abcdef zxcvb</rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</dc:
Second
By future proofing: At the moment I'm testing code against one .CR2
image. My wish at the moment is that my code will work on all of my .CR2
images from different cameras. When I upgrade my camera(s) to one(s)
that produces .CR3 images I will, no doubt, need to re test my code.
All I trying to do really is to extract some metadata and a
thumbnail/preview jpg using python instead of relying on subprocess and
exiftool/ exiv2. trying to speed things up. Oh and I got side tracked
on learning something new.
