python 2.7 - NLTK RegEx Chunker - Wildcard match any POS tag? -

i'm using nltk's regexpparser phrases pos-tagged words. example:

grammar = """         found:{<nnp>+<cd>+<,>+<cd>}         ...         """  pos_tagged_words = [('february', 'nnp'), ('14', 'cd'), (',', ','), ('1993', 'cd')]  result = nltk.regexpparser(grammar).parse(pos_tagged_words) 

is there way match wildcard tag? if worked, i'd looking this:

found:{<nnp>?<.>*<vbz>} 

where <.> wildcard.

edit:
found pretty bad way doesnt include characters. still appreciate dedicated wildcard char.

found:{<nnp>?<[a-z]+|[:punct:]+>*<vbz>} 

try this:

{<nnp>?<.*>*<vbz>}
