<ul>
<li>2015-01-29 17:22:12 UTC - culturemerge.ga - GET /AgJVAhoAGFpMUAVU.html</li>
<li>2015-01-29 17:22:13 UTC - culturemerge.ga - GET /AU4STwAHU1NMUUlcSlMHVAFRVwJTB1RKVx1XA1ZMAVUFSgRWTwBfVg</li>

</ul>

i want to get content <p>~</ul>

so i make pcre python code below:

temp=re.findall(r"<p>[^\"\&\;]*?<\/p>\s*<ul>\s*<li>\d(.|\s)*?<\/ul>",html)
        print temp

this pcre is work well in notepad++ or Regex Coach

but in python it do not work parsing!

it show only empty list like []

While I agree you shouldn't use regexp to parse html, sometimes it's ok. In this case I see some sort of a pattern, but I'm not quite sure about what you want to extract from the html. I'll just rewrite your regexp hoping it's what you're looking for:

temp=re.findall(r"<li>(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} {\d:]{8}).* - (.*) - GET (.*)<\/li>",html)
for i in temp:
    print i

temp will contain tuples with this data (date, domain, path)

    temp=re.finditer(r"<p>[^\"\&\;]*?<\/p>\s*<ul>\s*<li>\d(.|\s)*?<\/ul>",html)
    for match in temp:
        print match.group(0)
