Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: string.Template not flexible enough to subclass (regexes) Initial Comment: The regular expressions in string.Template can be overidden, but there's not an easy way to override the expression for variables inside braces and to a different expression than variables not in braces. E.g., you might allow full expressions in braces (including arbitrary punctuation), but only normal variable names outside. An example of using this kind of technique: http://svn.colorstudy.com/home/ianb/recipes/sub_expr.py So, in summary, idpattern should be split into two, idpattern and bracepattern. (Maybe a default of None for bracepattern, and use idpattern if bracepattern is None -- this would be backward compatible so that overriding only idpattern will effect both) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1198569&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
