I want something like this in python :

First you have to call one of the standard methods to apply the regex,
like matches() or find().
If that returns false, you can use the hitEnd() method to find out if some
longer string could have matched:
String[] inputs = { "AA", "BB" };
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("AAAAAB");
Matcher m = p.matcher("");
for (String s : inputs)
{
  m.reset(s);
  System.out.printf("%s -- full match: %B; partial match: %B%n",
                    s, m.matches(), m.hitEnd());
}

output:
AA -- full match: FALSE; partial match: TRUE
BB -- full match: FALSE; partial match: FALSE

So. Is there already some function like hitEnd() in any python regexp
library?
Or if not, maybe it's could be added in the feature to the standart re
module? :)
