Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Keith Briggs (kbriggs) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: doc misleading in re.compile Initial Comment: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/node46.html has compile(pattern[, flags]) Compile a regular expression pattern into a regular expression object, which can be used for matching using its match() and search() methods, described below. This could be read as implying that the regular expression object can ONLY be used for matching using the match() and search() methods. In fact, I believe it can be used wherever "pattern" is mentioned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christos Georgiou (tzot) Date: 2007-01-09 22:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=539787 Originator: NO I like exact wording too, but I don't think this is a serious issue. I would suggest, unless you (kbriggs) offers a suitable patch, that this be dropped as a non-bug (it's a RFE, anyway). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1630515&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
