[issue40496] re.findall() takes a long time (100% cup usage) on Python 3.6.10

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lapeyre at henki.fr> added the comment:

I don't think this is a deadlock rather it is certainly related to the number of '*' there is in your pattern, the regexp has to search an exponentially growing number of patterns. 

You could try a simple pattern to match your attribute and it should be faster.
