A smaller change to the regex would be to replace the "(?:.*,)*" with "(?:[^,]*,)*". I'd also suggest using a raw string instead: rx = re.compile(r'''(?:[^,]*,)*[ \t]*([^ \t]+)[ \t]+realm=(["']?)([^"']*)\2''', re.I) ---------- nosy: +mrabarnett _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
