Capturing group with findall?

How can I access captured groups if I do findall(r'regex(with)capturing.goes.here') ? I know I can do it through finditer, but I don't want to iterate.

python regex

Use groups freely. The matches will be returned as a list of group-tuples:

>>> re.findall('(1(23))45', '12345')
[('123', '23')]

If you want the full match to be included, just enclose the entire regex in a group:

>>> re.findall('(1(23)45)', '12345')
[('12345', '23')]
