I am using the following Highlighter class for Spell Checking to work on my

self.dict = None
def setDict(self, dict):
self.dict = dict

format = QTextCharFormat()
format.setUnderlineColor(Qt.red)
format.setUnderlineStyle(QTextCharFormat.SpellCheckUnderline)
unicode_pattern=re.compile(self.pattern,re.UNICODE|re.LOCALE)

if not self.dict.spell(word_object.group()):
print word_object.group()
self.setFormat(word_object.start(), word_object.end() -
word_object.start(), format)
But whenever I pass unicode values into my QTextEdit the re.finditer() does not
seem to collect it.
When I pass "I am a नेपाली" into the QTextEdit. The output is like this:
I I I a I am I am I am a I am a I am a I am a I am a I am a I am a I am a
It is completely ignoring the unicode.
The whole text is unicode. It is ignoring the non-ascii, as you asked it
to with re.LOCALE.
With 3.3.2:
import re
pattern = re.compile(r'\w+', re.LOCALE)
text = "I am a नेपाली"
for word in pattern.finditer(text):
print(word.group())
>>>
I
am
a
Delete ', re.LOCALE' and the following are also printed:
न
प
ल
There is an issue on the tracker about the vowel marks in नेपाली being
mis-seen as word separators, but that is another issue.
Lesson: when you do not understand output, simplify code to see what
changes. Separating re issues from framework issues is a big step in
that direction.
? What might be the issue. I am new to PyQt and regex. Im using Python
2.7 and PyQt4.
