Look in the module reference for REs, particularly the expression syntax
section:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/re-syntax.html
You probably want either the $ or \b constructs. I'll let you decide
which is more appropriate for your task. You might alternately want the
(?! ... ) construct, but that's probably more complex than your needs.
HTH,
