I have a a regex : ([\w\s()-]+):[\s+\B]?([\d,.]+)

to catch string in format similar to 

ignore-packets(vlan)  : 49,971

when I run it with python 2.7 it works as expected but when i run it using

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, May  1 2012, 13:52:17)

I get the following error: 

    m = re.findall(r'([\w\s\(\)-]+):[\s+\B]?([\d,\.]+)', l)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/re.py", line 177, in findall
    return _compile(pattern, flags).findall(string)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/re.py", line 245, in _compile
    raise error, v # invalid expression
sre_constants.error: internal: unsupported set operator

using the reference I've added '\' before special chars (().) but problem still occur

what am I missing here ?
