The "why" question is not very interesting -- it probably wasn't in PCRE and nobody was familiar with it when we moved off PCRE (maybe it wasn't even in Perl at the time -- it was ~15 years ago).
Perl supports \G since v5.0, released in 1994. PCRE supports it since v4.0, released in 2003. -- Jakub Wilk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
