Python 正则表达式查找XML注释中的特定词

1. Two-step approach 
import re

subject = '''
    This "TODO" is not within a comment, but the next one is. 
     <!-- 
     TODO
     : Come up with a cooler comment for this example.
     -->
'''

list = []
innerre = re.compile(r"\bTODO\b")
for outermatch in re.finditer("<!--([\s\S]*?)-->", subject):
    list.extend(innerre.findall(outermatch.group(1)))
print list

2. Single-step approach
import re

subject = '''
    This "TODO" is not within a comment, but the next one is. 
     <!-- 
     TODO
     : Come up with a cooler comment for this example.
     -->
'''

match = re.search(r"\bTODO\b(?=(?:(?!<!--)[\s\S])*?-->)", subject, re.DOTALL)
if match:
    result = match.group()
else:
    result = ""
print result
