Last summer, I posted a patch for the Python bindings at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2074817&group_id=12694&atid=112694
This fixes the problem that it's impossible to use the Python bindings to fetch an object with more than one sub-ID in its INDEX, e.g., it works for ifName.400 but not for tcpConnTable.130.129.16.250.80.130.129.16.250.32700 . Recently, we tracked down some pretty bad performance in our test infrastructure to the same regexp. When you give it only an object name with no dots, it does an incredible amount of backtracking, taking 22 seconds to parse 'ifHCOutBroadcastPkts' and 5 *hours* to parse 'hrSWInstalledLastUpdateTime'. My proposed replacement takes basically constant and negligible time to parse match any of my test cases. I'd at least like to start the discussion of "what is this regexp supposed to match", so that if my proposed replacement doesn't work in some environment that I didn't forsee we can fix it -- but it'd be nice to not have these two bugs.
