I am awful with regex

I'm trying to make a simple script in python to fetch a thread's (nonthumbnailed) images and save them to a folder.  I've got most of it done, but I am AWFUL with regex.  I just need a way to convert, for example:

<span title="Jan24th.jpg">Jan24th.jpg</span>)</span><br><a href="http://cgi.4chan.org/s/src/1250128463143.jpg" target=_blank>

Into

>Jan24th.jpg
and
>http://cgi.4chan.org/s/src/1250128463143.jpg

REGEGOI

That's English for ρεγεγοι
