Philippe Verdy <verd...@wanadoo.fr> added the comment: Note that I used the IPv4 address format only as an example. There are plenty of other more complex cases for which we really need to capture the multiple occurences of a capturing group within a repetition.
I'm NOT asking you how to parse it using MULTIPLE regexps and functions. Of course you can, but this is a distinct problem, but certinaly NOT a general solution (your solution using split() will NOT work with really A LOT of other regular expressions). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
