python - simple scraper kodi addon syntax failure regex "list exceeds" -

i trying simple kodi addon running limited code knowledge have.

i took plugin chefkoch ( github.com/kodinerds/repo/blob…deo.chefkoch_de-2.0.7.zip ) example , rebuilt it, scrapes "http://www.multimedia.ethz.ch/speakers/d_arch" , gives me list of semester child pages "class = "sub-lev3" ". when click links want to list of videos in semester. can until point of choosing semester in "def listvideos" appears have problem.

i think first 3 lines 1 make problems, tells list exceed failures in kodi log.

   content = geturl(url)        tbody = re.search('<tbody>(.*?)</tbody>', content, re.dotall).group(1)        spl = tbody.split('<tr>')     in range(1, len(spl), 1):             entry = spl[i]             match = re.compile('<li class=\'video\'><a href=\'(.+?)\'', re.dotall).findall(entry)             url = match[0]             match = re.compile('<span>(.+?)<', re.dotall).findall(entry)             title = cleantitle(match[0])             addlink(title, url, 'playvideo', '', '')
