Yes, I know this link - especially the absolutely voodoo-style regex by J. 
Friedl ("Mastering Regular Expressions", O'Reilly). I tried to "pythonify" 
the regex, but I failed. Python exits with some strange errors. Maybe 
Python is not that exceptionally good in regex as Perl? *duck*

So I'm using the simpler method proposed by Dennis Nichols in this thread. 
Thanks Dennis!
