If you want to anchor the regex at the start position 'pos' then use
the 'match' method instead.
The wickedly problem is that matching at position 'pos' is not a
requirement, its an option. Look again at my 2nd example, the
r'(\=|.)...' part, which (of course wrongly) assumes that \= means
'match at the beginning of the search'. Before the match I am really
interested in, there is the start of the search, OR there is any
character.
An alternative is to use the 'regex' module, available from PyPI:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex
It has \G, which is the anchor for the start position.
