New submission from Daniel Hrisca <daniel.hri...@gmail.com>: Consider this code snippet:
from re import match, fullmatch pattern = '".+?"' string = '"hello" "again"' print(match(pattern, string)) print(fullmatch(pattern, string)) Which prints: <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 7), match='"hello"'> <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 15), match='"hello" "again"'> The fullmatch function seems to ignore the non-greedy modifier. >From the fullmatch docstring I expected that fullmatch is equivalent to: def fullmatch(pattern, string): match = re.match(pattern, string) if match: if match.start() == 0 and match.end() == len(string): return match else: return None else: return None ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 308278 nosy: danielhrisca priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: re fullmatch error with non greedy modifier type: behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32319> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
