Summary: 'template' exception in wikipedia.replaceExcept() isn't good

Initial Comment:
Version: 
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7032, Jul 08 2009, 03:18:37)
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]

Because of the 'template' exception, large part of a page text can be ignored.
How to reproduce : run replace.py on fr.wiki with page "Slayers" and exeption 'template'
python replace.py -exceptinsidetag:template -regex "([Aa])ncêtre" "\1ncêetre" -namespace:0 -page:"Slayers"

It should normally find something to replace.

Possible fix : If I remove (?s) in front of the 'template' regex, it works. IMHO I would replace the .* by [^}]*
