Matthew Barnett <[email protected]> added the comment: The regex module is intended to replace the re module, so its default behaviour is the same: in Python 2, regexes default to matching ASCII, and in Python 3, they default to matching Unicode.
If you want to use a regex on a Unicode string in Python 2 then you need to set the Unicode flag, either by providing the UNICODE flag or by putting "(?u)" in the regex itself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10703> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
