The list alternates between substrings (s, between the splits) and captures (c): ['1', '1', '2', '2', '11'] -s- -c- -s- -c- -s-- You can use slicing to extract the substrings: >>> re.split(r'(?<=(\d))(?!\1)(?=\d)', '12111')[ : : 2] ['1', '2', '111'] ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
