andrew cooke <and...@acooke.org> added the comment: I thought someone was working on the re module these days? I thought there I'd seen some issues with patches etc?
Anyway, short term, sorry - no patch. Medium/long term, yes it's possible, but please don't rely on it. The simplest way to document it is as you suggest, I think - just extend the qualifier on lookback requiring fixed length to exclude references to groups (it does seem to *bind* groups correctly on lookback, so there's no need to exclude them completely). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9179> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
