[Tutor] Question about an re

os - Slackware
py - 2.4.1

I'm trying to grab the value 10 in

Visibility: 10 mile(s):0

but sometimes the value looks like

Visibility: 1/2 mile(s):0

My not working regex looks like

re.compile(': \d+|: \d/\d')

If I'm understanding right, this should match either or,
but it doesn't work for the fractional reading.

Can someone steer me in the right direction and explain
what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks much,
