I tried looking through re.py and sre_compile.py, but I can't really see an answer to my question.
Experimenting has shown me that re.findall() will return a list with the matches in the order it found them. Am I lucky so far, or does the _sre.c's logic dictate the items will be added in order found? http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/r25c1/Modules/_sre.c?rev=51334&view=auto (search for "pattern_findall") seems to indicate they will be added in order, but can someone with a better handle on Python internals (and quite frankly, C) confirm this? Thanks! j -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
