Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Wayne Davison (wayned) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: glob_to_re problems Initial Comment: The regex substitution in distutils.filelist.glob_to_re fails to do the right thing in a couple cases: 1. it fails to translate a dot after an even number of backslashes. 2. it fails to translate multiple dots in row. For example: foo\\* -> foo\\.*$ foo???? -> foo[^/].[^/].$ The following substitution fixes these problems: re.sub(r'((?<!\\)(\\\\)*)\.', r'\1[^/]', re_pattern) This allows the dot to be preceeded by an even number of backslashes (including 0) and it utilizes a negative look-behind assertion so that adjacent dots are handled. This problem is present in the svn code, and appears to be identical in versions 2.4.2 and 2.3.5 (the only two versions I had around to check). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1491431&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
