Newbie question: matching

[josh R]

Hi all,

I am trying to write some python to parse html code.  I find it easier
to do in perl, but would like to learn some basic python.  My code
looks like this:

line = "<tr>eat at joe's</tr><tr>or else</tr><tr>you'll starve</tr>"
so = re.compile("(\<tr\>.*?\<\\tr\>)")
foo=so.match(line)
print foo.groups()

I'd like to get an array of elements that looks like this:

array(0)= <tr>eat at joe's</tr>
array(1)= <tr>or else</tr>
array(2)= <tr>you'll starve</tr>

Could you please tell me the correct way to do the matching?

also, is there something similiar to perl's s/foo/bar/g?

Thanks!!!
Josh
