I am trying to parse the 'Meghan' part from the line: 

link = http://python-data.dr-chuck.net/known_by_Meghan.html

...with the following regex: 

print re.findall('by_(\S+).html$',link)

I am getting the output: 

[u'Meghan']

Why I am getting the 'u'?

It means unicode. Depending on what you'll do with it, you can ignore it for the most part, of you can convert it to ascii by doing .encode('ascii')
