Regular expressions help

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Look in the module reference for REs, particularly the expression syntax 
section:
    http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/re-syntax.html

You probably want either the $ or \b constructs.  I'll let you decide 
which is more appropriate for your task.  You might alternately want the 
(?! ... ) construct, but that's probably more complex than your needs.

HTH,
Mike
