I don't know what your experience has been so far, but I have almost no programming experience beyond what I've taught myself, and I found the re module very easy to understand after reading the docs. Just go through each page slowly. Start with the syntax, then read about the functions and objects (and their methods) and write a few REs yourself. I hate to say it, but it's actually kind of fun! :) And not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be when I first encountered REs.
