The `\w` in your regular expression means (to quote the Python `re` module documentation <http://docs.python.org/library/re.html>: > When the LOCALE and UNICODE flags are not specified, [`\w`] matches any > alphanumeric character and the underscore; this is equivalent to the set > [a-zA-Z0-9_]. With LOCALE, it will match the set [0-9_] plus whatever > characters are defined as alphanumeric for the current locale. If UNICODE is > set, this will match the characters [0-9_] plus whatever is classified as > alphanumeric in the Unicode character properties database. You need to replace the `\w` with something that will match the characters you want. If you want everything that `\w` matches plus spaces, you should use `[\w ]+` (note the space) instead of `\w+`.
