regexp in exclude? #11

Seems like regular expressions for excluding files is not working right.
I mean regexps like those mentioned here:
https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/blob/master/python2/examples/exclude.py

Are they tested?

For example I am excluding in jobs.yml:
['/home/foo/bar/','^/home/foo/bar/temp.']
or even:
['/home/foo/bar/','/home/foo/bar/temp.']

but I'm still getting notified for excluded files matching the regexp.
(I'm getting notifications for files like '/home/foo/bar/temp-1-2-3').
