That's because you read all of it and passed it to the first regex.
Change to:
side = urlopen("http://www.website.no";).read()
then:
liste = compile_obj.findall(side)
liste = compile_obj2.findall(side)
That reads the site's contents once, then you can do whatever you want
with it in your program. I'm not sure why you had the self. reference to
compile_obj, so mix to fit your circumstances :)
