This is a known issue: there are a good few duplicates in the tracker. Issue
#1662581 is one, for example.
In this particular case, you can probably fix things by tightening up your

There is no a Python bug.
You have wrong regexp. Remove "$" at the end or add ".*" before "$".
And it would be better if instead of '(?P.*?)\s' and
'"(?P.*?)"' you use '(?P\S+)\s' and '"(?P[^"]*)"'.
