Hi,
just a wild guess, as I don't have access to  containing the list of
potentially problematic regex patterns
does:
keywords1 = [line.strip() for line in open('keywords1.txt')]
possibly fix yout problem?
the lines of the file iterator also preserve newlines, which might not
be expected in your keywords, strip() removes (be default) any
starting and tryiling whitespace.

hth,
