As an aside i prefer to only utilize a "character set" when

r"\d\d*".
Even better, r"\d+"
I tend tot do that too, even though technically the two are not perfectly
equivalent. With the re.LOCALE flag LC_ctype is also affected, which affects
what is captured by \d but not by [0-9]
\d also matches more than just [0-9] in Unicode.
