python regex that parses url results truncated display and broke html links outside pre tag

sample problem snippet of python:

findreplace = [
(re.compile(ur'''<a href="http://(?P<urlpart>(?:[^.]+\.)?
wikipedia.org[^"]+)">http://([\w\.]+)+/(\w+/)+(?
P<title>[^<]+)</a>''',re.U|re.M),
ur'''<a href="http://\g<urlpart>">\g<title>↗</a>'''), # wikipedia
# more regex pairs here
]

when rendered with code-prettify, 
http://xahlee.org/js/google-code-prettify/gcp_python.html
the above regex gets rendered as:

findreplace = [
(re.compile(ur'''http://([\w\.]+)+/(\w+/)+(?P''',re.U|re.M),
ur'''\g'''), # wikipedia
]

but one thing particular worth mentioning is that html links outside of 
this pre block no longer works.

here's a example using hard-coded span marks:
