Not sure if this is defined in a later version, but it would be nice
to define re.NONE = 0 in the re module. This would be useful in cases
such as:
flags = re.DOTALL if dotall else re.NONE
Also useful for "building up" flags by ORing with other flags.
Thanks.
Just use 0.
If you want it added then try requesting it at:
http://bugs.python.org/
although it might be best to first gauge how much support you have for
the suggestion.
(arg, MRAB, sorry, wrong address!)
Defining None to 0 is a bad idea. You'll have trouble debugging later on.
They aren't talking about None, they're talking about a hypothetical
re.NONE to use as a flag to re.match() and the like. There's no
issue with defining that to be 0, since it is the correct value!
