Robert Xiao <nneon...@gmail.com> added the comment: Frankly, I don't really like that idea; I think it muddles up the RE syntax to have such a group-modifying operator, and seems rather unpythonic: the existing way to do this -- use .upper(), .lower() or .title() to format the groups in a match object as necessary -- seems to be much more readable and reasonable in this sense.
I think the proposed changes look good, but I agree that the focus should be on breaking up the megapatch into more digestible feature additions, starting from the barebones engine. Until that's done, I doubt *anyone* will want to review it, let alone merge it into the main Python distribution. So, I think we should hold off on any new features until this raft of changes can be properly broken up, reviewed and (hopefully) merged in. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
