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. Experience shows that, in any project, there is always time redo what was not made properly the first time a deadline was dreamed up. 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. See!? There *is* Time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
