I see you used unnecessary backslashes again in [\+\-], is that some web2py convention or so? It's equivalent to just [+-] and [-+] because inside character classes, "+" is not a metacharacter and "-" acts as regular character when placed right after "[" or right before "]". You can even find [-+] explicitly recommended in Python's documentation: http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html?highlight=re#simulating-scanf
