Just read the issue. Interesting, didn't know that was a bug rather than deliberate behavior. The other behavior (only match empty space once) makes more sense though. Thanks for linking. Still, that's for avoiding infinite loops in finditer/findall, not match/search :S -- Devin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
