(Sorry for the title; not quite sure how to summarize this) SO! Have I got an interesting one for you. ISSUE: In release 3.7.3 (and possibly later), the re module, if one has a string e.g. 'a.b.', a pattern such as '\.*$' will successfully *match* any number of multiple trailing periods. HOWEVER, when attempting to substitute those with actual character(s), it chokes. See attached poc.py NOTES: - This *is a regression* from 2.6.6, 2.7.16, and 3.6.7 (other releases were not tested). This behaviour does not occur on those versions. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: example.py messages: 347933 nosy: bsaner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: re does not honor matching trailing multiple periods versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48481/example.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37594> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
