I'm trying to read in and parse an ascii type file that contains information that can span several lines.
Example:

createNode animCurveTU -n "test:master_globalSmooth";
   setAttr ".tan" 9;
   setAttr -s 4 ".ktv[0:3]"  101 0 163 0 169 0 201 0;
   setAttr -s 4 ".kit[3]"  10;
   setAttr -s 4 ".kot[3]"  10;
createNode animCurveTU -n "test:master_res";
   setAttr ".tan" 9;
   setAttr ".ktv[0]"  103 0;
   setAttr ".kot[0]"  5;
createNode animCurveTU -n "test:master_faceRig";
   setAttr ".tan" 9;
   setAttr ".ktv[0]"  103 0;
   setAttr ".kot[0]"  5;

I'm wanting to grab the information out in chunks, so

createNode animCurveTU -n "test:master_faceRig";
   setAttr ".tan" 9;
   setAttr ".ktv[0]"  103 0;
   setAttr ".kot[0]"  5;

would be what my regex would grab.
I'm currently only able to grab out the first line and part of the second line, but no more.
regex is as follows

my_regexp = re.compile("createNode\ animCurve.*\n[\t*setAttr.*\n]*")

I've run several variations of this, but none return me all of the expected information.

Is there something special that needs to be done to have the regexp grab any number of the setAttr lines without specification?
