match everything after a slash and without the slash

Question

I am working with regular expression with the module re in python. I am supose to match everything before a slash, put the match in a variable, and match everything after a slash, and put it in another variable.

For example:

for the string

"NlaIII/Csp6I"

I would like to match NlaIII and store it in a variable and match Csp6I and store it in another variable

variable_1 = "NlaIII"
variable_2 = "Csp6I"

Using python module re, I have been able to match everything before the slash with the following regular expression:

first_enzyme = re.compile('.+?(?=\W+)')

But I am completely unable to everything after a backslash without the backslash

Thank you very much for your help!

Split with `/`, it the simplest solution for this kind of strings. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Oct 06 '16 at 08:57
sorry, I have mix between a slash and a backslash, when I mean backslash, it is a slash. I edit — Praderas, Oct 06 '16 at 08:59

You don't need a regex for that at all.

s = "NlaIII/Csp6I"
variable_1, variable_2 = s.split('/')
