Vedran Čačić <ved...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ah, now I see. When some_match.group(0) is called, the whole match is returned. So match can be considered kinda group (quasigroup?:). I see how it can be confusing: python usually starts indexing at 0, and someone might think that a .group(0) would be included in "a list of groups" returned.
I'm not sure how best to fix it. Maybe: Alternatively, if grouping parentheses are present in the pattern, return a list of groups captured by them... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44940> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
