Jason Stumpf added the comment: Sorry, that implication was backwards. I don't think I can prove from just the documentation that '(a|ab)*' can match 'aba' in certain contexts.
If the docs said: "* attempts to match again after each match of the preceding regular expression." I think it would describe the observed behaviour. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19055> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
