Help with Python Code Whitespace

Hello All,

I have some python code that pulls together titles and displays them on web pages.

Here is the section of code I am struggling with:

#string to grab title

titlePattern =r'''\s*(\([^\)]+\))?(?P<title>.*)'''

#returns the title part of the subject line

def getTitle (self,data):

return re.search (

PartParser.titlepattern,

self.getSubject (data),

re.X

).group ("title)


This code will print out a title with whitespace in the midde od the title

ie: This is a (whitespace here, spaces or tabs) great day.

I am trying to use join and split to make the tile read

ie: This is a great day.

I believe I can remove the whitespace with

newtitlePattern = ' '.join(titlePattern(1).split())

and

PartParser.newtitlePattern

but I an not sure where to put this in the code.

Please help
