R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: If you read what Ezio wrote carefully you will see that he addressed both of your points: he acknowledged that a flag would solve (2) (but disagreed that it was worth it), and he said you could use the first expression to validate the string before using the split to obtain the data. Doing it all in one regex might seem more efficient, but at least in the single use case you have presented it would lead to more complicated code.
Simple. obvious feature requests can be opened and acted upon directly in the tracker, but more complicated requests should be made as proposals on the python-ideas list, and if they are well received there then an issue can be opened (or in this case you could reopen this one) in the tracker with a pointer to the python-ideas thread. In most cases, such an issue would need to include a proposed patch. Note that we don't really have a resolution that says 'sent to python-ideas', thus the use of the 'rejected' status. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> committed/rejected _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
