The regex engine currently lacks some of the optimisations that the re engine has, but I've concluded that even with them the extra work that the engine needs to do to make it easy to switch to breadth-wise matching when needed is slowing it down too much (if it's matching only depth-first then it can save only the changes to the 'context', but if it's matching breadth-wise then it needs to duplicate the entire 'context'). I'm therefore seeing whether I can have 2 engines internally, one optimised for depth-first and the other for breadth-wise, and switch from the former to the latter if matching is taking too long. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14733/issue2636-20090815.zip _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
