Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:
Sorry, I find this too hard to follow. At the end: > ['TA', 'CA'] # Missing the substring 'CA' the comment claims it's missing 'CA', while the output plainly shows it's _not_ missing 'CA'. If your complaint is that's missing 'AC', yes, it is. It's not intended to find _overlapping_ matches at all (read the docs). The longest matching blocks in TAGACCA ATACA are in fact TA, CA, and AC, but after the leftmost-longest TA is matched first, AC no longer exists _to_ match in the second string. Only CA does. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
