Return values in parentheses with Python 2

Question

I need to use Python 2 with my server. But the code below I use in my computer using Python 3, and is not working in version 2. Anyone knows the conversion of the command below to Python 2? I need to return a value in parentheses.

Python 3:

    try:
        new = re.search(r'\([^)]*\)', value)
        new = str(new[0])
    except:
        return value

Python 2

????

You need to provide a [mre]. I don't see anything that would make this code behave differently between 2 and 3, but `value` is undefined, so I can't say for sure. However, part of the problem might be the [bare `except`, which is bad practice](https://stackoverflow.com/a/54948581/4518341). Try making it as specific as possible, e.g. `except TypeError`. — wjandrea, Sep 17 '20 at 04:01

-2

you can add , in the end like

import re

value = '5.2 (37.2)'
regex = '\([\d.]+\)'
ans = re.search(regex, value)
print(value[ans.start()+1:ans.end()-1] )

it will give

37.2

I have the string "5.2 (37.2)" I need just the value in parentheses: 37.2 – Jhonatan Souza Sep 17 '20 at 03:59
Like Jhonathan said, you're missing the point, but in any case, tuples work the same between Python 2 and 3. – wjandrea Sep 17 '20 at 04:04
sorry a misunderstanding in question. you can use it – gulbaz khan Sep 17 '20 at 04:05
import re value = '5.2 (37.2)' regex = '\([\d.]+\)' ans = re.search(regex, value) print(value[ans.start()+1:ans.end()-1] ) this will give `37.2` – gulbaz khan Sep 17 '20 at 04:05
