RegEx

[x]

I have a quick regular expression question.

I'm trying to substute all parathesis -- both left and right -- with a 
space.  I've tried:

        no_parans = re.compile('(|)', count = 99)

        scan_line = no_parans.sub(' ', scan_line)


This doesn't work.  It had the effect of inserting a space before every 
character, including the paranthesis.

What is the solution?
