For me both work:
In [11]:pattern = (
t>.*?)\s+end(\s+package)?(\s+(?P=name))?\s*;', )\s+is\s+(?P<conten
.11.:re.DOTALL | re.MULTILINE | re.IGNORECASE))
In [12]:pattern.match('package TEST is xyz end;')
Out[12]:<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x405b1650>
In [13]:pattern.match('package TEST123 is xyz end;')
Out[13]:<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x405b15f8>
I have copy and pasted you code.
For debugging re's in Python you might take a
