Question

I’m trying to write a regex to match any path that contains /? to determine whether it is a querystring or not.

a sample string to be matched would be this: /mysite/path/to/whatever/?page=1

so far I thought this would match re.match(r'/\?', '/mysite/path/to/whatever/?page=1')

but it doesn’t seem to be matching

Answer 1

Your problem is that you’re using re.match. That function looks for matches at the beginning of the string. So, either you change your regexp to '.*/\?', or use re.search instead.
