Ugh. Please not. Expect() accepts a nongreedy regular expression. ".*" is the 
lazy "match absolutely anything" pattern. Generally overused and imprecise.  
Iranna Mathapati knows what to look for.

See the documentation for the re module, specificly the regular expression 
syntax:

  https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax

To match letters, digits and "#", try:

  [0-9a-zA-Z#]*
