New submission from Martin Häcker <spamfaen...@gmx.de>:
When calling repr() on a compiled regex pattern like this:
> import re
> repr(re.compile('foo'))
you don't get the pattern of the regex out of the compiled form. Also all my
research has shown no getter to allow this.
I noticed this in my application because I was unable to show good error
messages for things involving regexes, which is a shame.
So please add the actual regex to the repr() form of the compiled regex, or
alternatively provide a getter / property to get at it.
