I'm still wondering if anyone can help with this. I found a minor error in
the second member of the routes_in tuple (the period shouldn't be escaped).
But it's still not working for me. I used re.sub to confirm that the second
member *should be* outputting the right string. So far I'm just testing
this on the bundled rocket server, so I don't think there's any issue with
server settings.
Any help would be much appreciated.
