New submission from Narendra <cnrpr...@gmail.com>:
Hi Team,
I have observed a bug in re.groups() function behavior in Python as below:
Issue:
re.groups() is not validating the arguments
Example:
>>> m = re.match(r'(\w+)@(\w+)\.(\w+)','usern...@hackerrank.com')
>>> m.groups()
('username', 'hackerrank', 'com')
>>> m.groups(1)
('username', 'hackerrank', 'com')
>>> m.groups(100000000000)
('username', 'hackerrank', 'com')
>>>
>From the above, its clear that re.groups() and re.groups(<somevalue>) both are
>same. I think re.groups() is not validating the arguments.
Please review the same and provide your comments whether my views are correct
or wrong
