I was frustrated for hours when I couldn't figure out why this won't match: >>> re.findall(r'(foo)?bar|cool', 'cool') Now I know, I have to make this change: (?:foo) But this isn't obvious. Should it be mentioned in the docs of re.findall() to use (?:...) for non-capturing groups? ---------- nosy: +rondevous _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42448> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
