R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: I don't know what re is doing with respect to locale, but I do know that the implementation of string.letters is at least somewhat broken in 2.x. It has no useful meaning in unicode, which is why it doesn't exist in 3.x.
A standard that talks about regex and locale is here: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html I don't know enough about locale or regex to comment further, but from the perspective of what I know about current developer resources and focus I would say that if anything is going to be changed, it would be by mrabarnett in the new engine. Unless mrab (or you?) does it, the old engine is unlikely to be touched at this point. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11744> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
