OK, so what did you change? Can you go back to last week's code and
compare it to what you have now to see what changed?

The best thing to do with regular expressions is to use raw strings,
i.e. r'this is a string'. The nice thing about that is backslashes are
not special. It makes it about 1000% easier to write complicated
regular expressions. Simple ones are only 500% easier.
