---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0007174) dwheeler (reporter) - 2025-05-05 14:32 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1919#c7174 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI: The Python community has decided to add \z for end-of-string (they already had \A for beginning-of-string), aligning Python with this proposal. We are getting ever closer to having a single notation for beginning-of-string and end-of-string across platforms! The Python developers rejected the \` and \' alternatives as they felt they were hard to read, difficult to use on GitHub, and conflicted with the general avoidance of backquotes in Python syntax. My thanks to msbrown for reaching out to the Python community!
