Problems with regular expressions

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Carlos_Luis_P=E9rez_Alonso?=]

I have the next piece of code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
if re.search('^(ta skid|bugid):\\d +',logMessage):
return 0
else:
sys.stderr.writ e("El comentario tiene que contener el taskid:#### o el bugid:####")
return 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The regular exprexión is "^(taskid|bugid ):\\d+"

Mi problem is that if logMessage == "taskid:234 " the regular expression matched teorically, but the result is always "None" and the function returns 1.

¿Does anybody has an idea of what is happening here?

Thanks
