If you keep running into trouble and you're sure it's related to the newlines,
maybe it helps using the 'whitespace' symbol instead of \r\n in your expression:
  re.compile('</td></tr></table>\\s*</div>\\s*', .... )

Other than that, hard to say what's not working as expected without knowing
the exact contents of the "content.html" file you're searching in....
