It's interesting question. Grepping in CPython sources got results: Cannot 210 cannot 865 Can't 216 can't 796 Lowercase wins uppercase with score 4:1 and short and long forms are equivalent. I left the decision to English speakers. > Also, you said that one of the re module's messages was better, but didn't > say which! Did you mean this one? > > re: expected bytes, bytearray, or an object with the buffer interface, > > str found > > regex: expected bytes instance, str found Both are not good. re variant is too verbose, but it is more correct. May be 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 16, 18 are better in re. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
