The ^ is redundant.
Didn't the OP want to match only at the beginning of the string?
That's why it's "redundant" instead of "incorrect". ;)
re.match = match(pattern, string, flags=0)
Try to apply the pattern at the *start* of the string, returning
a match object, or None if no match was found.
Emphasis mine.
