The patch I installed recently adds compatibility with this little-known
hook in compilation-error-regexp-alist you're using in python.el.
My new code is very lightly tested, so it may not be good enough for
python.el, please try it out.

We need to add a new way to get that same behavior because this current hook
is too restrictive in that it prevents the use of some of the new features
such as specifying (LINE-START . LINE-END) instead of just LINE.
But nevertheless, old code should still work, so please tell me if you're
still having trouble with the latest compile.el.
