I'm a coward; I'd write a parser rather than try to fit the logic into a regex.

    Yeah, a parser was also one of my first thoughts when I got confronted with this problem. It would be definitive a cleaner solution. But I'm still have some hope to find a RegEx.

      Well, I know that I could write a regexp, but if I were to spend the half hour to do so, I'm afraid your reply would be "but Python doesn't support 5.10 regexes yet".

      Frankly, I think you're better off asking Python questions in a Python forum.
