How to use range in Python regular expression?

Range in Regular Expressions

Ranges of characters can be indicated by giving two characters and separating them by a '-', for example [a-z] will match any lowercase ASCII letter, [0-5][0-9] will match all the two-digits numbers from 00 to 59.

If - is escaped (e.g. [a\-z]) or if it’s placed as the first or last character (e.g. [a-]), it will match a literal '-'.

 The regex [A-Z] matches all uppercase letters from A to Z. Similarly the regex [a-c] matches the  lowercase letters from a to z.

The regex [0-9] matches single-digit numbers 0 to 9. [1-9][0-9] matches double-digit numbers 10 to 99. That's the easy part.
