How to match and print list of comma separated numbers in python?

There are several questions regarding this topic, but none of them seem to answer this question specifically.

If I have the pattern p='([0-9]+)(,([0-9]+))*' and s='1,2,3,4,5' and I run m = re.match(p, s, 0) I get a match (as expected). However, I would like to be able to print the list ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5'). I can't seem to do this with the re.match output. It gives me ('1', ',5', '5').

Also, how do I get the number of matches (in this case 5)?

Don't use regexes for that. s.split(',') will do exactly what you want.
