regarding SRE_Match object

The match object returned by my local machine doen't resemble the one in the video, when the word "Love" is matched. <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f66ab17b510> this is what I am getting as opposed to the video. What might be the reason for this and how can I convert it to the other format as the one in the video seemed much more readable?

I'm getting the same thing, and I'm betting that it's because I'm using Python 2.
