Cheers for the additional context. My recommendation would be to change the language to avoid confusion with the consortium's formal specifications. Describing what SRE does should be fine: > Matches any alphanumeric Unicode character, as well as '_'. If the ASCII flag > is used, only [a-zA-Z0-9_] is matched. I think it'd also be nice for the term "alphanumeric Unicode character" to link to the documentation for `str.isalnum()`, which provides enough clarity for the user to work out exactly what Unicode category properties will end up qualifying as a match. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38566> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
