| The documentation for re.compile() shows that multiple flags are allowed, but re.compile(r'.*', re.VERBOSE, re.DOTALL) results in an error message that only two arguments are allowed and three were given. I'm using python 2.5 with Windows XP Home edition. | ||

| Multiple flags must be ORed together: re.compile(r'.*', re.VERBOSE | re.DOTALL) From the re module documentation at http://docs.python.org/lib/node46.html: "Values can be any of the following variables, combined using bitwise OR (the | operator)." | |
