like what a dot means in a regular _expression_? you really need to work
on your google fu ;-)

in the meantime, look under "The special characters are" on this page:
http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html
May be my bad writing english confused you. I know what a dot means in a regular _expression_. In the case you are forced to use regular _expression_ in the way:
    patter = 'www.'
    if re.compile(pattern).match(string) is not None:
        ......
 
but not:
 
    if re.compile(r'www.').match(string) is not None:          
or
    if re.compile('www\.').match(string) is not None: 
 
, how you process special characters, like dot.

if you want to check if the url starts with a given prefix, use

if url.startswith(prefix):
Your suggestion is really helpful. I use both startswith(prefix) and endswith(suffix) in my program, and it works better. Here is the new one:
=====================================================
def getLinkType(url, sitedomain):
    # get the domain which 'url' belongs to
    urldomain = urlparse4esa(url)[1]
   
    tmpsd = ''
    if sitedomain.startswith('www'):
        tmpsd = sitedomain[4:]
   
    if urldomain.endswith(tmpsd):
        return INTERNAL_LINK    # match. url is internal link
    else:
        return EXTERNAL_LINK    # doesn't match. url is external link
=====================================================
Thks for your help!
