I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean in the context of the match object API, where constructing "(target, match.start(), match.end())" to get a group-like object that refers to the target rather than copying the text is simple? (Such objects are very useful in the restricted application of constructing a programmable text editor.) Or is this something deeper, that a group *is* a new object in principle? _______________________________________________ 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
