New submission from Quentin Wenger <wenger.quen...@bluewin.ch>:
I noticed that match.groupdict() returns string keys, even for a bytes regex: ``` >>> import re >>> re.match(b"(?P<a>)", b"").groupdict() {'a': b''} ``` This seems somewhat strange, because string and bytes matching in re are kind of two separate parts, cf. doc: > Both patterns and strings to be searched can be Unicode strings (str) as well > as 8-bit strings (bytes). However, Unicode strings and 8-bit strings cannot > be mixed: that is, you cannot match a Unicode string with a byte pattern or > vice-versa; similarly, when asking for a substitution, the replacement string > must be of the same type as both the pattern and the search string. ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 371516 nosy: ezio.melotti, matpi, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: group names of bytes regexes are strings type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
