Title
Body
I'm having a problem with a seemingly simple Python regular expression. # e.g. If I wanted to find "mark has wonderful kittens, but they're mischievous.." p = re.compile("*kittens*") This will fail with the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/re.py", line 190, in compile return _compile(pattern, flags) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/re.py", line 242, in _compile raise error, v # invalid expression sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat I'm probably missing something quite simple, regular expressions are certainly not in my strengths!
