I agree, but this is came from standard error messages which are not consistent. I opened a thread on Python-Dev. "expected a bytes-like object" and "expected str instance" are standard error messages raised in bytes.join and str.join, not in re. We could change them though. > I don't think that the error message "bad repeat interval" is an improvement > (Why is it "bad"? What is an "interval"?). I think that saying that the min > is greater than the max is clearer. Agree. I'll change this in re. What message is better in case of overflow: "the repetition number is too large" (in re) or "repeat count too big" (in 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
