Qns on blank lines

hi

i have some regular exp code in perl that i want to convert to python.
if $line =~ m#<(tag1)>(.*)</\1>#
{
$variable = $2;
}

the perl code finds a line that matches something like

"<tag1>sometext<\tag1>" in the line and then assign $variable the value
of "sometext"

how can i do an equivalent of that using re module?
thanks
