Quentin Wenger <wenger.quen...@bluewin.ch> added the comment: And there's no need for a cryptic encoding like cp1250 for this problem to arise. Here is a simple example with Python's default encoding utf-8:
``` >>> a = "ú" >>> b = list(re.match(b"(?P<" + a.encode() + b">)", b"").groupdict())[0] >>> a.isidentifier() True >>> b.isidentifier() True >>> b 'ú' >>> a.encode() == b.encode("latin1") True ``` For reference, here is the very source of the issue: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/sre_parse.py#L228 ---------- _______________________________________ 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
