I remember having a similar problem and filing a bug report about it. Kovid told me it was because of a change of how python3 deals with regex compared to earlier version. Apparently * matches differently than +.

The solution he offered me was to replace .* with .+ and that took care of the problem.

Edit: See the above post by DNSB for explanation of the whey this happens.
