I refine this expression in my python console:
texts = re.findall(r"text[^>]*\>(?P<text>(:?[^<]|</\s?[^tT])*)\</text", text)
It works very well and his execution time is nearly instant when i execute in the console, but when I put it into my code and execute via interpreter its seems to get blocked.
I test it again in the Console and it executed in less that a second again.
I check that the blocking sentence is the regex execution and the text is the same all the executions.
What is happening?

I solve it.
The code have a pipe for cleaning the text that remove some necessary markup for correct matching.
Because the length of the text, the search of a impossible match takes too much time.
