As others have said, you probably want p = re.compile('.*[Pp]ython.*').

You could also consider using p.search(currentline) instead of
match. This would allow you to use '[Pp]ython' without the leading
'.*' portion of the regular expression.

r.match(s) is implicitly anchored to the start of s, whereas
r.search(s) is not.
