Message10439

The code:
startservermatch = re.match('\[(.*)\]', startserverstring)


  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/re.py", line 137, in match
    return _compile(pattern, flags).match(string)
  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/re.py", line 239, in _compile
    p = sre_compile.compile(pattern, flags)
  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/re.py", line 239, in _compile
    p = sre_compile.compile(pattern, flags)
  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/sre_compile.py", line 516, in compile
    code = _code(p, flags)
  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/sre_compile.py", line 500, in _code
    _compile(code, p.data, flags)
  File "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv02/jython2.5.3/Lib/sre_compile.py", line 182, in _compile
    raise ValueError, ("unsupported operand type", op)
ValueError: ('unsupported operand type', 'subpattern')

On the other site I found http://grinder.sourceforge.net/faq.html#re-problems which suggests import re everywhere but it obviously does not help
