instead of transcribing it with some mistake?

I just did the same thing at the console and it worked perfectly

$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55) 
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> p = re.compile('ab*')
