[issue37594] re does not honor matching trailing multiple periods

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

'\.' is an invalid escape sequence. Could you try it with a raw string?

Also, it's not really clear to me what you're seeing, vs. what you expect to see. For one example that you think is incorrect, could you show what you get vs. what you expect to get? And, if that's different on different python versions, could you show what each version does?
