I hope this is just a typo but you are printing your original string not
the things found...

Hi there
Do you want your "*" to represent a single letter, or what is your intent?
If you want only a single letter between the "V" and "VVP", use "\w"
instead of "*".
re.search('v\wVVP',myseq)

Dear group:
I have 50 thousand lists. My aim is to search a pattern in the alphabetical
strings (these are protein sequence strings).
MMSASRLAGTLIPAMAFLSCVRPESWEPC VEVVP
NITYQCMELNFYKIPDNLPFSTKNLDLSFNPLRHLGSYSFFSFPELQVLDLSRCEIQTIED
my aim is to find the list of string that has V*VVP.
myseq
