i have the following code:

My first thought is: "[t]"  can just be written "t"

[...]
so, gettext_re = re.compile(r"""[t]\((.*)\)""").findall is not correct as
it includes
results such as input( type="hidden" name="_csrf" value=csrf_token )

what is the correct way to pull all values that are within t(" ") but
exclude any tt( ) and input( )

Others have suggested word boundaries and nongreedy matches. You don't need them.

Use this:

 \([a-zA-Z]\w*\)(\([^)]*\))

which matches any "foo(blah)".

Then look at the returned match object and check that .group(1) == "t".

I heard a funny one this weekend.  I was belaying a friend on a very short
problem and when she was pumped out she told me to "Let me down" and my
other friend that was standing nearby said.  "You were never UP!".
