   This re is a bit different than the one I am used. So, I am trying to match
   everything after 'pn=':

   import re
   s = "pm=jose pn=2017"
   m0 = r"pn=(.+)"
   r0 = re.compile(m0)
   s0 = r0.match(s)
   >>> print(s0)
   None

Assuming that you were expecting to match "pn=2017", then you probably
don't want the 'match' method.  Read its documentation.  Then read the
documentation for the _other_ methods that a Pattern supports.  Then you
will be enlightened.
