This is very odd.  The code in context:

        typename = self.get_basic_type(val.type)
        if not typename:
            return None

        # All the types we match are template types, so we can use a
        # dictionary.
        match = self.compiled_rx.match(typename)

If typename is None, we should have taken the "return None" branch.

I tend to agree it is a python problem as you stated in comment #1.
