Most of examples do not test whether findall() returns an empty list. So there is no significant difference with using search() -- just different type of exception if fails (IndexError, TypeError or AttributeError). Since most examples do not handle errors, this will only affect a traceback if you use the script improperly. If it is important to you, you can write (re.search(...) or [])[0] and get the same IndexError. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
