Message 175112 - Python tracker
This is a known issue: there are a good few duplicates in the tracker. Issue #1662581 is one, for example. In this particular case, you can probably fix things by tightening up your regex. Part of the problem is that '.*' is going to match any sequence of characters, including spaces. Judicious use of '\S' to match non-whitespace characters might help. There's not much point to the '?' in '.*?', either.
