[requirement 1] > "^(?u)\w$" captures them also. > Is there a possibility to restrict an expression like "\w" to "\w > without [0-9_]"? [requirement 2] The two requirements are not the same. R1: [^0-9_] matches any character except the underscore and the digits 0-9 R2: To match "like \w except for underscore and digits 0-9", find "negative lookbehind assertion" in the re docs. I've omitted the ^, $ and (?u) because the above advice is general. HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
