match extensions with regular expresion

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:48:42 -0700

hello to all!

I'm new to python , worked with regexp in javascript only, and I'm stuck with one little problem, I want to know if File has extension: .zip .7z .gz .tar ...(only Compressed Files).

But if it's .rar, it must not be xxx.partN.rar ('N' is a number and 'xxx' can be anything) UNLESS 'N' is '1' or '01' '001' etc.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
