Yes, I'm aware of that. It is an issue that users will have to be aware of. However, I don't think it's a killer. I think Python regular expressions have enough in common with the PCRE (perl compatible regular expressions) library to be useful. For example, I think [EMAIL PROTECTED]@(.*\.)?sus(se)?\.ac\.uk$ has the same meaning in both dialects. If I'm wrong, then I can make do with .*sussex\.ac\.uk$ and .*susx\.ac \.uk$ -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, IT Services University of Sussex _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
