New submission from MizardX <miza...@gmail.com>: re.findall and re.finditer has very different signature. One iterates over match objects, the other returns a list of tuples.
I can think of two ways to make them more similar: 1) Make match objects iterable over their captures. With this, you could write something like the following: for key,value in re.finditer(r'(\w+):(\w+)', text): data[key] = value 2) Make re.findall return an iterator over tuples. This would decrease the memory footprint. ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 113074 nosy: MizardX priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Converge re.findall and re.finditer _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9529> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
