Denver Coneybeare denver.coneybe...@gmail.com added the comment: I just re-tested this issue in trunk at changeset 053bc5ca199b and the issue is still exactly reproducible as originally reported. That is, the match to the empty string skips a character of the match: import re [m.groups()

Jeffrey C. Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Perl gives this result for your new expression: ,undef,undef undef,undef,abc undef,,undef I think it has to do with not thinking of a string as a sequence of characters, but as a sequence of characters separated by null-space. Null-space

Matthew Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I have to report that the fix appears to be successful: print [m.groups() for m in re.finditer(r'(^z*)|(\w+)', 'abc')] [('', None), (None, 'abc')] print re.findall(r(^z*)|(\w+), abc) [('', ''), ('', 'abc')] print [m.groups() for m in

Matthew Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: What should: [m.groups() for m in re.finditer(r'(^z*)|(^q*)|(\w+)', 'abc')] return? Should the second group also yield a zero-width match before the third group is tried? I think it probably should. Does Perl?

Jeffrey C. Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Hmmm. This strikes me as a bug, beyond the realm of Issue 3262. The two items may be related, but the dropping of the 'a' seems like unexpected behaviour that I doubt any current code is expecting to occur. Clearly, what is going on is

Jeffrey C. Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Never mind inclusion in 2.6 as no-one has repeated this bug in re-world examples yet so it's going to have to wait for the Regexp 2.7 engine in issue 2636. -- versions: +Python 2.7 -Python 2.5

[issue1647489] zero-length match confuses re.finditer()

Jeffrey C. Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Ah, I see the problem, if ptr is not incremented, then it will keep matching the first expression, (^z*), so it would have to both 'skip' the 'a' and NOT skip the 'a'. Hmm. You're right, Matthew, this is pretty complicated. Now, for your

Matthew Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: What about r'(^z*)|(q*)|(\w+)'? I could imagine that the first group could match only at the start of the string, but if the second group doesn't have that restriction then it could match the second time, and only after that could the third
