When looking at a regex with dir() you don't get all available attributes - which is inconvenient as some very important ones (like .pattern) are not visible. To demonstrate: > import re > re.compile('foo').pattern 'foo' > dir(re.compile('foo')) ['__copy__', '__deepcopy__', 'findall', 'finditer', 'match', 'scanner', 'search', 'split', 'sub', 'subn']
