Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:
There was a discussion in issue40984 that the repr must be eval-able. I don't feel very strongly about this, mainly because I don't think anyone ever does eval(repr(some_regex)). I'd be slightly sympathetic to wanting the eval to fail if the repr had to truncate its output, instead of succeeding because the string was still a valid, but different, regex. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39949> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
