New submission from Eugene Morozov <eugene.moro...@gmail.com>: There's a peculiar and difficult to find bug in the re.sub method. Try following example: >>> text = 'X'*4096 >>> nt = re.sub(u"XX", u".", text, re.U) >>> nt u'............XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (only 32 dots, the rest of the string is not changed).
If I first compile regexp, and then perform compiled_regexp.sub, everything seems to work correctly. ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 128923 nosy: Eugene.Morozov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: re.sub replaces only first 32 matches with re.U flag type: security versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11262> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
