Failure of a simple regex I

Let us test the simple regex on a more complicated text: 
>>> l = re.search(r'\[(.*),(.*)\]', \
    ' [-3.2E+01,0.11  ] and [-4,8]').groups()
>>> print l
('-3.2E+01,0.11  ] and [-4', '8')
Regular expressions can surprise you...!
Fix: 
\[([^,]*),([^\]]*)\]
Note: only the first group (here interval) is found by re.search (use re.findall to find all)
