You can iterate over the file directly:
for user in f:

The version using readlines() reads the whole file into a list of lines

Fantastic,
Thanks Hugo that makes 100% sense now! Testing both regex for including /

Hi
I wrote the following code:
f = open('/etc/passwd', 'r')
users = f.read()
userelements = re.findall(r'(\w+):(\w+):(\w+):(\w+):(\w+):(\w+):(\w+)',
users)
print userelements
for user in userelements:
(username, encrypwd, uid, gid, gecos, homedir, usershell) = user #
unpack the tupl
