Heh, thanks :) Unit tests did cross my mind. I was kicking myself for not starting out with them, there were several regressions during development, and there could well still be lurking corner cases ;)
I've since heard that a 'better way' would be to use pyparsing. Also, I saw that python has dropped the idea of having recursive regular expressions at the moment. http://bugs.python.org/msg83993 Maybe I might re-implement this with pyparsing and some unit tests.
