help on python regular expression named group

[Mohan L]

Dear All,

Here is my script :

#!/usr/bin/python
import re

# A string.
logs = "date=2012-11-28 time=21:14:59"

# Match with named groups.
m =
re.match("(?P<datetime>(date=(?P<date>[^\s]+))\s+(time=(?P<time>[^\s]+)))",
logs)

# print
print m.groupdict()

Output:
========

{'date': '2012-11-28', 'datetime': '*date=2012-11-28 time=21:14:59*',
'time': '21:14:59'}


Required output :
==================

{'date': '2012-11-28', 'datetime': '*2012-11-28 21:14:59*', 'time':
'21:14:59'}

need help to correct the below regex

(?P<datetime>(date=(?P<date>[^\s]+))\s+(time=(?P<time>[^\s]+)))"

so that It will have : 'datetime': '2012-11-28 21:14:59' instead of
'datetime': 'date=2012-11-28 time=21:14:59'

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Mohan L
