Vlastimil Brom <vlastimil.b...@gmail.com> added the comment: Actually I had that impression too, but I was mainly surprised with these requirements being on the lowest level of the unicode support. Anyway, maybe the relevance of these guidelines for the real libraries is is lower, than I expected.
Probably the simpler cases are adequately handled with lookarounds, e.g. (?:\w(?<!\p{Greek}))+ and the complex examples like symmetric differences seem to be beyond the normal scope of re anyway. Personally, I would find the surrogate handling more useful, but I see, that it isn't actually the job for the re library, given that the narrow build of python doesn't support indexing, slicing, len of these characters either... vbr ---------- _______________________________________ 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
