New issue 11 by sauted...@gmail.com: RegEx quirky behavior
http://code.google.com/p/clml/issues/detail?id=11

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cd into pyphon-1.6.0/src
2. make four variants of syllables.csv, differing by Onset's definition:
a. (\#|\.)_V_
b. _(\#|\.)V_
c. (\#|\.)_[-cons]_
d. _(\#|\.)[-cons]_
2. run pyphon_maketableaux.py syllables syllinputs OT for each (deleting
the .mod file each time).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All four definitions would be expected to produce the same result. However,
the fourth definition produces an error (valueError "I pity you).


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0, Mac OS X 10.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.

This is all part of a larger problem: the above command produces no
tableaux for any of the above cases (there are evidently no contender
outputs). Something is clearly missing, but since I have only limited
understanding of constraint regular expression syntax, this is difficult to
diagnose.

You can disregard the larger problem in the "additional information"
section. Turned out that the inputs in syllinputs.csv needed to be flanked
by \# for the constraints in syllables.csv to work.
