Armin Rigo added the comment: Just a side note for 2.7: could I recommend people to be really extra, extra careful when changing what kind of regexps are accepted and what kind of regexps are outright rejected? I believe the risk of making long-existing and working 2.7 programs suddenly crash on the next 2.7 micro version should *by far* outweight the theoretical advantage of crashing early on sufficiently bogus regexps.
(Fwiw, I believe the same would apply on 3.x too, where rejecting previously-accepted regexps should only be done in a minor version upgrade.) ---------- nosy: +arigo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
