There are lots of ways to do this ranging from changing the regexp to return more groups to reconstructing the string.

One way:

	if mg is None:
		return no_page_read_str
	date = mg.group(1)
	date = "{1}/{0}/{2}".format(*date.split('/'))
	pct = mg.group(2)

EDIT: The *date stuff unpacks the list (array) into positional parameters as required by the "format" method. It is explained in the python docs here.

Another way, less magic:

	if mg is None:
		return no_page_read_str
	date = mg.group(1)
	parts = date,split('/')
	date = parts[1] + '/' + parts[0] + '/' + parts[2]
	pct = mg.group(2)
