Emanuel Barry added the comment: For future reference, if your input can have arbitrary escapes, it might be a good idea to pass it through re.escape; it does proper escaping so that stuff like e.g. \g in your input will get treated as a literal backslash, followed by a literal 'g', and not an escape sequence.
