Regex working in text editor(sublime) but not in python

Question

I want to extract the line using regex. The line that I want to extract from document is:

":method":"POST",":path":"/api/browser/projects/8bd4d1d3-0b69-515e-8e15-e9c49992f7d5/buckets/b-ao-mock-testing/copy

The regex I am using is:

":method"[:"a-z,/\d-]{20,1000}/copy

The code for the same in python is:

re.findall('":method"[:"a-z,/\d-]{20,1000}/copy', str(s), re.MULTILINE)

It is working perfectly fine in sublime text but not in python. It is returning an empty list in python. How to resolve this?

By default, the regex search in Sublime text is case insensitive. You need to turn on `Aa` button to make it case sensitive. In Python, you just used a different regex, without `re.I`. Use `re.I`. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 22 '20 at 21:14

You need to use i modifier: insensitive. Case insensitive match (ignores case of [a-zA-Z]). Without this how will POST match?

or use ":method"[:"a-zA-Z,/\d-]{20,1000}/copy
