The "take away" I recommend is: the folks here are often way 
overly negative regarding regular expressions and that you not
ignore them, but take them with a BIG grain of salt and continue 
learning about and using regexs.

You will find they are an indispensable tool, not just in Python 
programming but in many aspects of computer use.
