Why is this so controversial? We're not talking about functional changes to the re module, we're talking about improving error messages. Firstly, the actual wording of error messages are not part of the API and are subject to change without notice. Secondly, nobody is talking about keeping the two modules syncronised on an on-going basis. This is just to improve the re error messages using regex as inspiration. ---------- title: Improve some re error messages using regex for hints -> Unify error messages of re and regex _______________________________________ 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
