Are you in contact with the author of that third-party library? Why is
it in your Python 3.4 site-packages?

My attempt:

    PARSER_RE_STR = "/({keys}|{values})=".format(
            keys=DN_LUT.keys(), values=DN_LUT.values())

Explicit is better than implicit, especially in mini-languages like
string interpolation.
