I don't see any space appended there. The last four bytes of output are 0x20, 0x2f, 0x2e, 0x0a (space, /, ., newline). Perhaps you're misunderstanding the little-endian nature of od -x output? </quote> Yes, of course, when 'od' says ' 2f20 0a2e' it means it received: 0x20 0x2f 0x2e 0x0a sorry - I'm just trying to understand why your original RE fails - it isn't because of the spaces ! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
