Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Now RuntimeError is raised in this case.
Here is a patch, which: 1) Increases the limit of repeat numbers to 4G (now SRE_CODE at least 32-bit). 2) Raises re.error exception if this limit is exceeded. 3) Fixes some minor related things. ---------- components: +Extension Modules, Regular Expressions keywords: +patch nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: -> patch review versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28808/re_maxrepeat.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13169> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
