Would there be any interest in augmenting the test case library for
the regex stuff?
When I was working on PyPy, we were using a simplified regular
expression matcher to implement the tokenizer for Python. I was able
to take a lot of PCRE's regex tests and port them to test our regular
Hm, what's wrong with the existing set of regex test cases? This is
one of the most complete set of test cases in our test suite.

There's never anything wrong with having more test cases! However, if
you have a choice of which
I'm not criticizing the current battery of tests, nor am I arguing
that we replace them.
There's a comment in the test_re.py that says that these tests were
carefully modeled to cover most of the code... That is a very
difficult statement to maintain and/or verify, especially if the

There is a conflict between running a thorough test of everything
possible and not having the test suite run for hours. I believe a
couple of other modules have a regular sanity-check test and an extended
patch-check test. Something like that might be appropriate for re.
Hello,
So, if there's interest in investigating how much of the PCRE tests
can augment the existing tests, I am offering to do so.
IMO there's nothing wrong with having more tests, provided that:
- they don't make the test suite slower than it should be
- they aren't too
