Bugfixes Added \G anchor (from Perl). \G is the anchor at the start of a search, so re.search(r'\G(\w)') is the same as re.match(r'(\w)'). re.findall normally performs a series of searches, each starting where the previous one finished, but if the pattern starts with \G then it's like a series of matches: >>> re.findall(r'\w', 'abc def') ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] >>> re.findall(r'\G\w', 'abc def') ['a', 'b', 'c'] Notice how it failed to match at the space, so no more results.
