I imagine lots of other python REs fail if this one is failing ? :
$ cat test.py
import os
import sys
import re
pat = r'''d......... # It is a directory.
 \+? # It may have ACLs.
 \s+\d+ # It has some number of links.
 [^/]* # Skip user, group, size, and date.
 /\. # and end with the name of the file.
 '''
str = 'drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Apr 20 15:28 /.'
if re.match(pat, str, re.VERBOSE) :
 print "MATCHED\n"
else :
 print "DID NOT MATCH"
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` LD_PRELINK=`pwd`/libpython2.7.so.1.0 ./python ./test.py
DID NOT MATCH
