This is another version of the redundant repeat issue defined in issues
2537 and 1633953 and although not described by the original report for
issue 214033, the comments further down that issue also describe a
similar situation.
In this case, the problem arises from the '[(](?P<key>[^)]*)?[)]'
portion of your regexp code because you have a zero-or-more repeat
repeated zero-or-one times, which in the current version of python
causes this error. Technically, the outer zero-or-one operator ('?') is
redundant and you can eliminate it, but this IMHO should not cause the
error listed below and I will look into a solution in issue 2636.
