Normally, ^ matches at the start of the string, but if the re.MULTILINE flag is turned on, it matches at the start of a line. Normally, $ matches at the end of the string, or just before the final '\n' if that '\n' is the final character, but if the re.MULTILINE flag is turned on, it matches at the end of a line.
