Hi, following the example from http://docs.python.org/3.0/howto/regex.html
If I execute the following code on the python shell (3.1a1): >>> import re >>> p = re.compile('ab*') >>> p I get the msg: <_sre.SRE_Pattern object at 0x013A3440> instead of the msg from the example: <re.RegexObject instance at 80b4150> Why I get an SRE_Patterns object instead of a RegexObject instance?
