Morten Lied Johansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: One issue that the current implementation has, which I can't see have been commented on here, is that it kills utf8 characters (and probably every other character encoding that is multi-byte).
A é character in an utf8 encoded string will be represented by two bytes. When passed through re.escape, those two bytes are checked individually, and both are considered non-alphanumeric, and is consequently escaped, breaking the utf8 string into complete gibberish instead. ---------- nosy: +mortenlj _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2650> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
