Hi,
It seem that the current python requires fixed-width pattern for look-
behind. I'm wondering if there is any newly development which make
variable-width pattern available for look-behind.
The re module is currently being worked on, but unfortunately it won't
appear until Python 2.7. Variable-width look-behind is one of the
improvements.
Most probably a backport to Python 2.6 or even 2.5 under a different
module name like re_ng wouldn't be too difficult to do for anybody that
needs the new functionality and knows a bit about building extension
modules.
