New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:
When the verbose mode is switched on by using the inline (?x) flag instead of
re.VERBOSE argument, the debugging output is duplicated: once for non-verbose
mode and then for verbose mode.
>>> import re
>>> re.compile(r' (?x)a', re.DEBUG)
LITERAL 32
LITERAL 97
LITERAL 97
re.compile(' (?x)a', re.VERBOSE|re.DEBUG)
Proposed patch makes the parser to produce only final output for verbose mode.
>>> re.compile(r' (?x)a', re.DEBUG)
LITERAL 97
re.compile(' (?x)a', re.VERBOSE|re.DEBUG)
