Matthew Barnett added the comment: There needed to be a way of referring to named groups in the replacement template. The existing form \groupnumber clearly wouldn't work. Other regex implementations, such as Perl, do have \g and also \k (for named groups).
In my implementation I added support for \g in regex strings. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15956> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
