New submission from Jonathan Epstein:
All 3 of these regex's should match, but in practice only m2 does. Found deep
in the bowels of debugging a larger problem.
import re
mainProjectsPath = '/groups/larvalolympiad/larvalolympiad/Projects/'
m1 = re.match('larvalolympiad',mainProjectsPath)
m2 = re.match('.*larvalolympiad.*',mainProjectsPath)
m3 = re.match('/larvalolympiad/',mainProjectsPath)
print(m1)
print(m2)
print(m3)
