Matthew Barnett added the comment: IMHO, I don't think that MAXREPEAT should be defined in sre_constants.py _and_ SRE_MAXREPEAT defined in sre_constants.h. (In the latter case, why is it in decimal?)
I think that it should be defined in one place, namely sre_constants.h, perhaps as: #define SRE_MAXREPEAT ~(SRE_CODE)0 and then imported into sre_constants.py. That'll reduce the chance of an inadvertent mismatch, and it's the C code that's imposing the limit to the number of repeats, not the Python code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13169> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
