Hi

[...]

hm, that's wired
I just tried it in python shell and it works but same code as script file 
fails

for anyone who want to see for himself

# package.vhd file
bash % cat package.vhd
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

package TEST123 is
        constant BASE
End Package Test;


# parser.py
bash % cat parser.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, re

reflags = re.DOTALL | re.MULTILINE | re.IGNORECASE

pattern = 
re.compile(r'^\s*package\s+(?P<name>\w+)\s+is\s+(?P<content>.*?)\s+end(\s+package)?(\s+(?P=name))?\s*;', 
reflags)

class PackageParser(object):
        def __init__(self, filename):
                self.package = file(filename).read()
        def parse(self):
                return pattern.search(self.package)

if __name__ == "__main__":
        p = PackageParser("package.vhd")
        m = p.parse()
        if m is None:
                print "nothing"
                sys.exit(1)
        print m.group("content")
        print m.group("name")


# testing
bash % ./parser.py
nothing

ps:
>>> sys.version
