Works for me, perhaps you should provide a sample of mystring, and what you expect cleanstring to be after.

mystring = """\

I want this gone!


I wish this would stick around, but I'm greedy!

I want this gone, too!

"""
 
greedy = re.compile("(.*
)", re.MULTILINE|re.DOTALL)
nongreedy = re.compile("(.*?
)", re.MULTILINE|re.DOTALL)
 
# >>> greedy.sub('', mystring)
# '\n\n'
 
# >>> print nongreedy.sub('', mystring)
# "\n\n
I wish this would stick around, but I'm greedy!
\n\n"
