So I would like to re-implement todo.txt in python as a learning project. Now, I would like (for testing) that if I would add say Ask a Question on SO +StackOverFlow, I would like to reprint +StackOverflow (NOT Ask a Question on SO +StackOverflow, since Regular Expressions are the hard part, the rest is cream cheese (the rest of the owl).
I have tried to use W for this, but all Python gives me is [].
import re
todo = input("")
plusregex = re.findall("W +", todo)
print(plusregex)
Thank you for everything SO community!

You should either use lookbehind or capture groups (which are more flexible).

If you are trying to extract the "tags" maybe the regular expression+[^s]+would help? (A literal plus followed by anything but whitespace repeating)

The regular expression [^ws]w+ would do the trick to capture words starting with non-alphanumeric characters:
import re
todo = "Ask a Question on SO +StackOverFlow +test"
plusregex = re.findall("[^ws]w+", todo)
print(plusregex)
which outputs: ['+StackOverFlow', '@python', '!test']
