Using python regex, find, and accessing groups - regex

Question

I'm using Python to (1) access an xml file, (2) search it for nodes containing regex1, (3) search the nodes found for regex2 (which has a couple capture groups), then (4) do things with the groups.
I've got steps 1 and 2 working. But I'm stuck on 3 and 4. Here's an example of my code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib import urlopen
import re
from lxml import etree
url='https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLS/113/1/hr/BILLS-113hr2146ih.xml'
soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(url).read(), 'xml')
pattern = r'(am)(ed)'
regex = re.compile(pattern, re.IGNORECASE)
x = soup.find_all(text=re.compile("amended"))
count = 0
for each in x:
#I thought this would loop through x and search each result for
#the regex, then print the 2 groups like this: am--ed
print (regex.finditer(x[count]))
print (each.group(1), '--', each.group(2))
count = count + 1
But instead it prints this:
<callable-iterator object at 0x97efd0c>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/media/Windows/Documents and Settings/Andy/My Documents/Misc/Computer/Python/NLTK-Python Learning/test.py", line 17, in <module>
print (each.group(1), '--', each.group(2))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bs4/element.py", line 615, in __getattr__
self.__class__.__name__, attr))
AttributeError: 'NavigableString' object has no attribute 'group'
I've been playing with this for a week and have read everything relevant I can find online. But I'm obviously not understanding something. Any suggestions? - Thanks

Currently you aren't using your regex to search through each result of x. Try something like
for each in x:
for match in regex.finditer(each):
print (match.group(1), '--', match.group(2))
