New submission from Noah Petherbridge:
I found a bug in Python 3.6.0a2 that wasn't present on previous versions of
Python concerning the "\d" escape sequence as used in the following regular
expression:
import re
s = "hello"
s = re.sub(re.escape(r'(\d+?)'), '(?:\d+?)', s)
(The purpose of this regular expression was to translate the literal regexp
string "(\d+?)" to be a non-capturing literal regexp string, to eventually be
used as a re pattern).
When running this code in 3.6.0a2 I receive the following stack traces:
- - - - - - - - - -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/kirsle/.pyenv/versions/3.6.0a2/lib/python3.6/sre_parse.py", line
877, in parse_template
this = chr(ESCAPES[this][1])
KeyError: '\\d'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in <module>
s = re.sub(re.escape(r'(\d+?)'), '(?:\d+?)', s)

raise s.error('bad escape %s' % this, len(this))
sre_constants.error: bad escape \d at position 3

However, the script runs without crashing on Python 3.5.1 and 2.7.11
