 This re is a bit different than the one I am used. So, I am trying to match
 everything after 'pn=':
 import re
 s = "pm=jose pn=2017"
 m0 = r"pn=(.+)"
 r0 = re.compile(m0)
 s0 = r0.match(s)
 >>> print(s0)
 None
Assuming that you were expecting to match "pn=2017", then you probably
don't want the 'match' method. Read its documentation. Then read the
documentation for the _other_ methods that a Pattern supports. Then you
will be enlightened.
