Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
This is still a valid issue. (As of Python 2.6a1+ (trunk:61434, Mar 17
2008, 08:06:54).)
>>> bool(re.match("abc(?i)","AbC"))
True
The documentation says that the behavior of a regex with (?<letter>) not
at the beginning is undefined.
Short of implementing Java/Perl behavior, this should be made an error
rather than undefined so that users porting their code from Java/Perl
get an early warning.
