Your question is not 100  clear  but I m assuming you want to find every piece of text inside  P   P  tags    gt  gt  gt  import re  gt  gt  gt  line    President  P  Barack Obama   P  met Microsoft founder  P  Bill Gates   P   yesterday    gt  gt  gt  re findall    P   s       s     P     line    Barack Obama    Bill Gates

import re regex   ur   P            P      line    President  P  Barack Obama   P  met Microsoft founder  P  Bill Gates   P   yesterday   person   re findall regex  line  print person    yields    Barack Obama    Bill Gates       The regex ur   u005B1P u005D    u005B u002FP u005D     is exactly the same unicode as u   1P      P      except harder to read   The first bracketed group   1P  tells re that any of the characters in the list        1    P   should match  and similarly with the second bracketed group   P   That s not what you want at all  So    Remove the outer enclosing square brackets   Also remove the stray 1 in front of P   To protect the literal brackets in  P   escape the brackets with a backslash    P    To return only the words inside the tags  place grouping parentheses around
