Python Regex Search Ignore String

Question

Im trying to preform a regex search in python. I have a string which can be either domain.com/user or domain.com/123

However I want to preform a match if the string is domain.com and /user is NOT found.

import re
re.search('domain.com!(/user)',src,re.IGNORECASE)

Can you please assist, Thanks,

What you want is called a negative look-ahead assertion.

import re

print bool(re.search("domain.com(?!/user/)", "domain.com"))
print bool(re.search("domain.com(?!/user/)", "domain.com/user/test"))
print bool(re.search("domain.com(?!/user/)", "domain.com/test"))
