Matthew Barnett added the comment: Ideally, yes, that whitespace should be ignored.
The question is whether it's worth fixing the code for the small case of when there's whitespace within "tokens", such as within "(?:". Usually those who use verbose mode use whitespace as in the first example rather than the second or third examples. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15606> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
