I am trying to match a data URI pattern of data:\w+/\w+;\w+,\w+ in Python. How do I retain each match to use later (essentially, each of the w+ pieces)?

Capture them into groups, i.e.
data:(\w+)/(\w+);(\w+),(\w+). You can then usem.group(x)orm.groups()(wheremis a match object) to obtain them (note that group 0 is the entire matched string).
