I am parsing the output of an open-iscsi command that contains

I tried using \s* to swallow the whitespace between the to iSCSI
lines. No joy... However [\s\S]*? allows the regex to succeed. But that
seems to me to be overkill (I am not trying to skip lines of text here.)
Also note that I am using \ + to catch spaces between the words. On the
two problem lines, using \s+ between the label words fails.
Changing

iSCSI\ +Connection\ +State:\s+(?P<connState>\w+\s*\w*)
[\s\S]*? <<<<<< without this the regex fails

gives me

for your example (same for the original regex).
It looks like it works (Python 2.7.3) and there is something else
breaking the regex.
