     re.compile(pattern, flags) - method to pre-compile and save a regular expression pattern, and any associated flags, for later use.
 .groupdict() - method to generate a dictionary from a Match object's groups. The keys will be the group names. The values will be the results of the patterns in the group.
 re.finditer() - method to generate an iterable from the non-overlapping matches of a regular expression. Very handy for for loops.
 .group() - method to access the content of a group. 0 or none is the entire match. 1 through how ever many groups you have will get that group. Or use a group's name to get it if you're using named groups.
