New submission from Paul Sokolovsky: fnmatch.translate() ends with:
return res + '\Z(?ms)' However, https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax states: Note that the (?x) flag changes how the expression is parsed. It should be used first in the expression string, or after one or more whitespace characters. If there are non-whitespace characters before the flag, the results are undefined. Hence, fnmatch uses undefined pattern, and indeed, it fails with alternative Perl-compatible regular expression implementations (specifically, PCRE, which appear to do something like apply flag at the point of its occurrence). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 218198 nosy: pfalcon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: fnmatch module uses undefined regular expression to perform matching versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21464> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
