Hello, Has anyone has issue with compiled re's vis-a-vis the re.I (ignore case) flag? I can't make sense of this compiled re producing a different match when given the flag, odd both in it's difference from the uncompiled regex (as I thought the uncompiled api was a wrapper around a compile-and-execute block) and it's difference from the compiled version with no flag specified. The match given is utter nonsense given the input re.
In [48]: import re In [49]: reStr = r"([a-z]+)://" In [51]: against = "http://www.hello.com" In [53]: re.match(reStr, against).groups() Out[53]: ('http',) In [54]: re.match(reStr, against, re.I).groups() Out[54]: ('http',) In [55]: reCompiled = re.compile(reStr) In [56]: reCompiled.match(against).groups() Out[56]: ('http',) In [57]: reCompiled.match(against, re.I).groups() Out[57]: ('tp',) cheers, -Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
