Jacques Grove <jacq...@tripitinc.com> added the comment:
Do we expect this to work on 64 bit Linux and python 2.6.5? I've compiled and
run some of my code through this, and there seems to be issues with non-greedy
quantifier matching (at least relative to the old re module):
$ cat test.py
import re, regex
text = "(MY TEST)"
regexp = '\((?P<test>.{0,5}?TEST)\)'
print re.findall(regexp, text)
print regex.findall(regexp, text)
$ python test.py
['MY TEST']
[]
python 2.7 produces the same results for me.
However, making the quantifier greedy (removing the '?') gives the same result
for both re and regex modules.
