If the internal error means the re engine bumped into some internal limit and gracefully raised an exception, then fine. If "internal error" means the re engine unexpectedly got into some inconsistent internal state, then threw up its hands and barfed after discovering the error sometime later, that's bad. Does nobody care which it is? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
