Because lines are mangled in transmission, it is rather difficult to
guess exactly what you have in your input and what your expected
results are.

Also you don't show exactly what you have tried.

At the end is a small script that contains my guess as to your input
and expected results, shows an example of what the re.VERBOSE flag is
intended for, and how you might debug your results.

So that you don't get your homework done 100% for free, I haven't
corrected the last mistake I made.

As usual, re may not be the best way of doing this exercise. Your
*single* piece of evidence may not be enough. It appears to be a
horrid conglomeration of instances of different things, each with its
own grammar. You may find that something like PyParsing would be more
legible and more robust.
