Question about regular expression

[gal kauffman]

items = s.replace(' (', '(').replace(', ',',').split()

items_dict = dict()
for item in items:
    if '(' not in item:
        item += '(0,0)'
    if ',' not in item:
        item = item.replace(')', ',0)')

    name, raw_data = item.split('(')
    data_tuple = tuple((int(v) for v in
raw_data.replace(')','').split(',')))

    items_dict[name] = data_tuple
