Using Sikulix 1.10 I am attempting to compile a regular expression. I run into the following error when I attempt the code below.
 
Code: 

regex_search = re.compile(r'Foo: (.*)? Bar: (.*)? Title: (.*)')


Error: 

[error] script [ regex_error_hndl ] stopped with error in line 29

Related post that I found regarding this error (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3675144/regex-error-nothing-to-repeat)

I believe the issue is with the ".*" portion of the regular expression. I have been unable to figure out a way to adjust my expression to avoid these meta characters. Do you have any suggestions? Is there  a way to use a more recent version of python with sikulix? I am fairly new to the world of scripting and programming, these are the sorts of problem that thoroughly stump me. Sikulix has been a fantastic tool to learn on. 

Is there any additional info needed to assess this problem? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated
