Matt Chaput <m...@whoosh.ca> added the comment: Not sure if this is better as a separate feature request or a comment here, but... the new version of .NET includes an option to specify a time limit on evaluation of regexes (not sure if this is a feature in other regex libs). This would be useful especially when you're executing regexes configured by the user and you don't know if/when they might go exponential. Something like this maybe:
# Raises an re.Timeout if not complete within 60 seconds match = myregex.match(mystring, maxseconds=60.0) ---------- nosy: +mattchaput _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
