Matthew Barnett added the comment: @Barry: repl already supports some escapes, e.g. \g<name> for named groups, although not \xXX et al, so deprecating unknown escapes like in the pattern makes sense to me.
BTW, the regex module already supports \xXX, \N{XXX}, etc. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
