[TxMt] Python syntax breaks on # in regex string (r'#')

[Dirk van Oosterbosch, IR labs]

Ah, I see.

That could be cool though...
Or maybe only look for these "verbose" comments inside  
"""multiline""" patterns, since they're most useful there.

And one can also escape the comment character. This already solves  
the issue (and keeps the results of the regular expression intact!):
	some_reg_string = r'/#'

thx
