Hi,

rxSlice = re.compile('\[([^:\]]*):([^:\[]?){1}(:[^:\[]+)?\]')

compiles, but

rxSlice = re.compile('\[([^:\]]*):([^:\[]*){1}(:[^:\[]+)?\]')

produces: >>> error: nothing to repeat
(Python 2.5.1 in idle on Windows XPpro)

Perhaps that 'nothing to repeat' is intended for {x} (i wouldn't like that at all), but then it must not differenciate between * and ?.
