If I don't have to think about the str -> bytes direction, re should first stop going in the other direction. When I have bytes regexes I actually don't care about strings and would happily receive group names as bytes. But no, re decides that latin-1 is the way to go, and this way it 1) reduces my freedom in the choice of the group names, 2) makes me need to go read the internals to understand the the encoding it arbitrarily chose is latin-1, so that I can undo it properly and get back what I always wanted - a bytes group name. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
