Eric V. Smith added the comment:
re.match requires a match at the beginning of the string. From the docs: "If
zero or more characters at the beginning of string match the regular expression
pattern, ...".
If you switch to re.search, they'll all match:
>>> re.search('larvalolympiad',mainProjectsPath)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xffed54f0>
>>> re.match('.*larvalolympiad.*',mainProjectsPath)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xffed5870>
>>> re.search('/larvalolympiad/',mainProjectsPath)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xffed54f0>
