Is some other account needed besides the one for bugs.python.org?
Anyway, the long character properties now work in the latest version issue2636-20090810#3.zip In the mentioned overview http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html there is a statement for the property names: "You may omit the underscores or use hyphens or spaces instead." While I'm not sure, that it is a good thing to have that many variations, they should probably be handled in the same way. Now, the whitespace (and also non ascii characters) in the property name seem to confuse the parser: these pass silently (don't match anything) and don't throw an exception like "undefined property name". cf. >>> regex.findall(ur"\p{Dummy Property}", u"abcDEF") [] >>> regex.findall(ur"\p{DümmýPrópërtý}", u"abcDEF") [] >>> regex.findall(ur"\p{DummyProperty}", u"abcDEF") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> File "regex.pyc", line 195, in findall File "regex.pyc", line 563, in _compile File "regex.pyc", line 642, in _parse_pattern File "regex.pyc", line 654, in _parse_sequence File "regex.pyc", line 662, in _parse_item File "regex.pyc", line 787, in _parse_element File "regex.pyc", line 1021, in _parse_escape File "regex.pyc", line 1159, in _parse_property error: undefined property name 'DummyProperty' >>> vbr ---------- _______________________________________ 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
