R. David Murray added the comment: Agreed that this is unlikely to ever get implemented given that Matthew doesn't think it should be. -- assignee: niemeyer - nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: - rejected stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue694374 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Mark Lawrence breamore...@yahoo.co.uk added the comment: Closing because of quote from msg83993 Another feature request that I've decided not to consider any further is recursive regular expressions. There are other tools available for that kind of thing, and I don't want the re module to go the way of Perl 6's rules; such things belong elsewhere, IMHO. -- nosy: +BreamoreBoy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue694374 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue694374] Recursive regular expressions
Matthew Barnett pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com added the comment: There are 2 reasons: 1. I've been told that my current patches contain too many differences from the current implementation, so basically I have to go back to the start and introduce any changes a little at a time, without knowing whether any particular change will be accepted. 2. I think that recursive regular expressions are starting to stray into the realm of pyparsing and so forth. So I might not have the time (and I don't think I have the inclination!) to implement them. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue694374 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Matthew Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Perl (?number) for calling numbered groups and (?name) for named groups (Perl also supports (?Pname)). (?R) is equivalent to (?0). It's interesting that the documentation for both Perl and PCRE say that they support (?Pname) because that's what Python uses! ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue694374 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
