If you pull the strings into (?>( ... )) (atomic groups), this would't happen. http://www.regular-expressions.info/atomic.html ... Everything between (?>) is treated as one single token by the regex engine, once the regex engine leaves the group. Because the entire group is one token, no backtracking can take place once the regex engine has found a match for the group. ... Maybe Py.2.5 will have them?
