I believe that the u"" notation in Python 2.7 is defined by while importing the unicode_litterals module. Each regexp lib could provide its instanciation of regexp litteral notation. And if only the default one does, it would still be won for the beginers, and the majority of persons using the stdlib. -- Simon Descarpentries +336 769 702 53 http://s.d12s.fr _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
