Thank you thank you. I owe you a dinner if we are ever in the
same town (are you at Pycon?).
Attended PyCon '07 here in Dallas (my back yard), but didn't make
'08 or '09

Indeed...I should have commented it a little :)
r = re.compile(r"""
(\w+) # the variable name
\s*=\s* # the equals with optional ws around it

"(?:[^"]*)" # double-quotes around non-quoted stuff

One of the benefits of re.VERBOSE allows making them a little
less opaque. Unfortunately this version (the non-named-tagged
version) includes the surrounding quotes in the second
capture-group, so the list-comprehension has to strip off the
surrounding quotes.
