Nesting isn't inherently a problem. Since nesting doesn't change the way they parse, you can ignore nesting for the purposes of pulling out named groups. Find each unescaped "(?P<...>". (Making sure they are unescaped is annoying, though.) -- Devin -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
