Works for me:

import re
sampleData = "Spam, spam, <GREEN>ham</GREEN>. " \
                + "<TITLE>Here's lookin' at you, kid.</TITLE> " \
                + "Say no more."

pat = re.compile(r"<title>(.*)</title>", re.I)

match = pat.search(sampleData)

if match:
    print match.groups()
else:
    print "No matches"

>>> ("Here's lookin' at you, kid.",)
