Hint 1: Always assume that errors are in your own code. Blaming library code and language implementations will get you nowhere most of the time. Hint 2: regular expressions and Python strings use the same escape character. Hint 3: Consult the Python documentation about raw strings, and what they are meant for. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
