I am not convinced. What are examples of using re.match() instead of re.search()? How common is this type of errors? There are perhaps many millions of scripts which use re.match(), deprecating re.match() at any time in future would be very destructive, and keeping an alias indefinitely would only add more confusion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
