Re: match point

ity where we cannot reasonably expect the average user to always remember to write exactly this, so it makes sense to add an easy-to-use fullmatch function to the re namespace. It may not be the real historical reason behind re.fullmatch, but personally I will stick with that one :) Cheers, Thierry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

match point

makes it more efficient? But then why would I ever use r'\A', since that anchor makes a pattern match in only a single position, and is therefore useless in functions like re.findall, re.finditer or re.split? Thanks, Thierry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Evaluation order

Anyway, if we enter this kind of discussion, it is a reliable indication that the code smells. There is a pythonic way to express the same task: >>> t.sort() >>> t kind regards Thierry On ven., juil. 10, 2015 at 2:28 PM, Terry Reedy < tjre...@udel.edu [tjre...@udel.edu]

Re: Evaluation order

Hi, No, the value of t is a reference to tje list. So first, (1) the value of the reference t is recovered, (2) the parenthesis is evaluated, (...) the whole expression is evaluated. To evaluate (2), the .sort() call is executed in place with the side effect of sorting the content of t. t.sort()

Thank you to both of you (Marc and Tino). I feel a bit stupid right now, because as both of you said, encoding my source string to utf-8 do not produce an exception when I pass it to urllib.quote() and is what it should be. I was certain that this created an error sooner, and id not tried it again
