What do you mean match from right to left? If you mean, match an re that is anchored at the end of the string, then sure, $ is supported. If you mean, find the right-most match of several (similar to the rfind method of a string) then no, it is not directly supported. You could use re.findall() and chose the last match but if the matches can overlap this may not give the correct result.
