Summary: re special sequence '\w'
Initial Comment:
>>> rexp = re.compile('\w', re.LOCALE)
>>> rexp.findall('_')
['_']
>>> '_'.isalnum()
False
While the Python docs say, that the underscore is
supported, I strongly ask why this is so?
The problem is that I want to match a sequence of
alphanumeric characters but excluding the underscore.
If you defined \w to not support "_" anymore, people
could easily check for the "_" as well with \w|_ .
My locale is "de_DE" but it does affect other locales as
well.
