Terry J. Reedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Atomic groups and possessive quantifiers appear to be relatively new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expressions for instance, has no mention of either that I found.
http://www.regular-expressions.info/atomic.html http://www.regular-expressions.info/possessive.html seemed pretty clear to me. If they accurately describe what you are adding, they might be a starting point for the needed new manual sections. They should include a warning about carefully ordering alternatives lest one prune too much. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3825> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
