why this regex cannot find the result

Question

I have a python code like below: My question is why the matched variable is [\' \']? (I used the regex in regexpal.com, it can find the right result |Name=A. Johnson | there)

Answer 1

matched = re.findall("\|?\s*[nN]ame\s*=([a-zA-Z\.\s]+)\|?",a,re.I)
print matched

output:

['A. Johnson ']
