Start by importing the re module (as said). Find its documentation at
the following link (together with a list of many other modules that come
standard with Python). Also, once imported to the interactive session,
help(re), dir(re).

But there's an alternative implementation, which should be easy to
install (worked for me when I needed it), called regex. Find it at the
following link and see for yourself.
