Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: FWIW, I'd love seeing the updated regex module in 3.2. Please do bring it up on python-dev.
Looking at the latest module on PyPI, I noted that the regex.py file is very long (~3500 lines), even though it is quite compressed (e.g. no blank lines between methods). It would be good to split it up. This would also remove the need for underscore-prefixing most of the identifiers, since they would simply live in another (private) module. Things like the _create_header_file function should be put into utility scripts. The C file is also very long, but I think we all know why :) It would also be nice to see some performance comparisons -- where is the new engine faster, where does it return matches while re just loops forever, and where is the new engine slower? ---------- _______________________________________ 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
