Hello, Python regular expressions must not have more than 100 capturing groups. The source code responsible for this reads as follows:
# XXX: <fl> get rid of this limitation! if p.pattern.groups > 100: raise AssertionError( "sorry, but this version only supports 100 named groups" ) I have been waiting a long time now for Python to get rid of this limitation. I could make a program of mine a lot faster with an easy hack if Python did not have it. My question is: Does anyone know if the problem is going to be fixed in the next few months or so? Or is there a way to circumvent it? Jörg Schuster -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
