Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:
The quantifiers use 65535 to represent no upper limit, so ".{0,65535}" is
equivalent to ".*".
For example:
>>> re.match(".*", "x" * 100000).span()
(0, 100000)
>>> re.match(".{0,65535}", "x" * 100000).span()
(0, 100000)
but:
>>> re.match(".{0,65534}", "x" * 100000).span()
(0, 65534)
