  • What does just re.findall('useful_string: (.*)', prompt) return? If it's nothing, then you probably have a regex problem.

If you get a list index out of range on [0] then the list is empty, and contains no value. You can check if a list has any values in it using not, e.g.:



my_list = function_that_returns_a_list()
if not my_list:
print("Your list is empty")
else:
print(my_list[0])


Verify that your re.findall('useful_string: (.*)', prompt) isn't returning an empty list.
