My only addition opinion is that re is very much used in deployed python applications and was written not just for correctness but also speed. As such, regex should be benchmarked fairly to show that it is commensurately speedy. I wouldn't not personally object to a slightly slower module, though not one that is noticeably slower and if it can be proven faster in the average case, it's one more check in the box for favorable inclusion. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
