SilentGhost <ghost....@runbox.com> added the comment:

Fabrod, this has nothing to do with the square brackets. It is your assumption 
that the return value should be the same that is wrong. Cf.:

>>> re.findall(r'a.+', 'abc')
['abc']
>>> re.findall(r'a(.+)', 'abc')
['bc']

This is the correct documented behaviour.
