Matthew Barnett added the comment: The question is whether re should always treat 'b{1, 3}a' as a literal, even with the VERBOSE flag.
I've checked with Perl 5.14.2, and it agrees with re: adding a space _always_ makes it a literal, even with the 'x' flag (/b{1, 3}a/x is treated as /b\{1,3}a/). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11204> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
