The new regex version http://bugs.python.org/issue2636 supports much more features, including unicode properties, and the mentioned possix classes etc. but definitely not all of the requirements of that rather "generous" list. http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/ It seems, e.g. in Perl, there are some omissions too http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html#Unicode-Regular-Expression-Support-Level Do you know of any re engine fully complying to to tr18, even at the first level: "Basic Unicode Support"? vbr _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
