2 Regex Questions

[AlphaBravo]

Hello Comp.Lang,Python,

1) How do I parse Basic Posix RE's in Python (i need it because of
some old scripts and a specific OS developed in Seattle)
2) How can I split a string into sections that MATCH a regex (rather
then splitting by seperator). Tokenizer-style but ignoring every place
from where I can't start a match?

- Thanks, Ariel Ben-Yehuda

import re
re.compile("[abc]+").findall("abcxaaa! abba")

['abc', 'aaa', 'abba']
