how to match whitespace and alphanumeric characters in python

问题

I'm trying to match a string that has a space in the middle and alphanumeric characters like so:

test = django cms

I have tried matching using the following pattern:

patter = '\s'

unfortunately that only matches whitespace, so when a match is found using the search method in the re object, it only returns the whitespace, but not the entire string, how can I change the pattern so that it returns the entire string when finding a match?

回答1:

import re

test = "this matches"
match = re.match('(\w+\s\w+)', test)
print match.groups()

returns

('this matches',)
