The following schedule expressions should pass validation (taken from AWS docs) but they raise errors upon validation with event_schedule_expression:

cron(15 10 ? * 6L 2002-2005)
cron(*/7 5-10 5 * *)
cron(5,35 14 * * ? *)
cron(0 18 ? * MON-FRI *)
cron(0/15 * * * ? *)
cron(0/10 * ? * MON-FRI *)
cron(0/5 8-17 ? * MON-FRI *)

>>> from troposphere.validators import event_schedule_expression

>>> event_schedule_expression("cron(15 10 ? * 6L 2002-2005)")
Traceback (most recent call last):
