I don't know the standard, but it sounds strange to have more than one wildcard per part of an URL. "*.*.*.google.com" looks valid to me, whereas "*a*a*a*.google.com" looks very suspicious. Said differently, I expect: assert max(part.count("*") for part in url.split(".")) <= 1 "*" pattern is replace with '[^.]+' regex, so I may not cause the exponential complexity issue. (I didn't check.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
