Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment: In re, "\A" within a character set should be similar to "\C", but instead it's still interpreted as meaning the start of the string. That's definitely a bug.
If it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, then it's a bug. regex tries to be backwards compatible with re but fix such bugs. The only buggy behaviour which it retains in its version 0 (compatible) behaviour is not splitting on a zero-width match, and that's only because GvR believes that some existing code which uses re may rely on that behaviour. In its version 1 (extended) behaviour it does split on a zero-width match. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
