I didn't know it, but my function _is_  starting by underscore (a bit of 
localization :) )

Great,  it works perfectly. I found my errors.
I didn't use r ahead of the patterns and i was close to the 'allow' pattern 
but didn't give positive result and KregexEditor reported wrong way. This 
specially because of '<' inside the stream. I thing that is not a normal 
regex input. It's only python valid. Am I right?

More details are the previous thread.
