Thanks! Nice Regex!

In my tests, some hashtags still had a space behind them, which turned out to be "Non Breakable Space".

"\u00A0" should fix it.

not_in_hashtags = "\"$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?[\]^`{|}~\n#@ \u00A0"

(I am in a different programming language.... can't promise that it works that way in Python.)
