The construct [abc] does not match a whole word but only one char, so  
[^table] means "any char which is not t, a, b, l or e".

Anyway the inside table word won't match your pattern, as there are '<' 
and '>' in it, and these chars have to be escaped when used as simple text.
So this should work:

re.compile(r'<table(|[ ].*)>.*</table>')
                    ^ this is to avoid matching a tag name starting with table 
(like <table_ext>)
