"Regular expression pattern strings may not contain null bytes, but can specify the null byte using the \number notation."
What is meant by null bytes here? Unprintable chars??
no, null bytes. "\0". "\x00". ord(byte) == 0. chr(0).
and the "\number" is meant to be decimal?
octal. this is explained on the "Regular Expression Syntax" page.
and in what encoding?
null byte encoding? you're confused.
