This change was intentional and documented. It fixed old bug in the Python implementation of RE and removed the discrepancy with other RE engines. The pattern r'\.*$' matches not only a sequence of dots at the of the line, but also an empty string at the end of line. If this is not what you want, use r'\.+$'. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ 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
