Yup - it should just require adding a negative lookbehind assertion; e.g., >>> import re >>> keypat = r"(?<!\\)\b(if|while|for)\b" >>> re.search(keypat, r"yup! while") <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(5, 10), match='while'> >>> re.search(keypat, r"nope! \while") # None >>> The "(?<!\\)" part means "if what follows me matched, pretend it didn't match if the character before it is a backslash - provided there _is_ a character before it". _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
