Willem de Bruijn <wdebr...@dds.nl> added the comment: Good call. The posix regular expression character class [[:alpha:]] is apparently not as universally supported as I thought. Posix mandates it for filepath expansion[1], but that's not of much help on older and non-compliant systems. However, from what I can gather even standard Bourne accepts plain character classes ([a-z]) in its filename expansion[2]. If so, a simple fix is to rewrite it as
- *=*) DEFS="$line$NL$DEFS"; continue;; + [a-zA-Z]*=*) DEFS="$line$NL$DEFS"; continue;; On the other hand, your solution should also work and is actually more robust, so I'd go with that. willem -- references: [1] http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_13_01 [2] http://steve-parker.org/sh/bourne.shtml ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7938> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
