Thanks for the citation. If my goal had been to redesign my program, I would not ask questions about regular expressions. I do not have the time to redesign my program. And knowing that my situation would be better, if I had written other code in the past, does not help me at all. I just want to use more than 100 capturing groups. If someone told me that it is very unlikely for Python to get rid of the said limitation, I would recode part of my program in C++ using pcre. But I would prefer to be able to do everything in Python. That is why I asked. Jörg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
