This should use curly-braces:

  {1,3}

instead of square braces, and this

> names=re.findall(r'[A,Z][a,z]*',examplestring)

should use a dash for the range instead of commas:

  [A-Z][a-z]*

which you might want to tweak for names like "MacArthur" in which
case you'd want

  [A-Z][A-Za-z]*

Hope this helps,
