'#' is special in python, maybe the regex gets post-processed into becoming a comment? Try escaping it.

I'd like to get all the redirect pages out of a wiki, but
pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#REDIRECT' -format:"{page.title}" -get
produces nothing, but
pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'United Kingdom' -format:"{page.title}" -get
produces, as expected
UK #REDIRECT [[United Kingdom]]
pwb.py listpages -start:UK -grep:'#' -format:"{page.title}" -get
picks up pages with a # in them, but not any of the #REDIRECTs
why isn't -grep just parsing the page fully?
