hi- i know nada about python so please forgive me if this is way off base. i'm trying to fix a bug in MoinMoin whereby
WordsWithTwoCapsInARowLike ^^ ^^ ^^ do not become WikiNames. this is because the the wikiname pattern is basically /([A-Z][a-z]+){2,}/ but should be (IMHO) /([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}/ however, the way the patterns are constructed like word_rule = ur'(?:(?<![%(l)s])|^)%(parent)s(?:%(subpages)s(?:[%(u)s][%(l)s]+){2,})+(?![%(u)s%(l)s]+)' % { 'u': config.chars_upper, 'l': config.chars_lower, 'subpages': config.allow_subpages and (wikiutil.CHILD_PREFIX + '?') or '', 'parent': config.allow_subpages and (ur'(?:%s)?' % re.escape(PARENT_PREFIX)) or '', } and i'm not that familiar with python syntax. to me this looks like a map used to bind variables into the regex - or is it binding into a string then compiling that string into a regex - regexs don't seem to be literal objects in pythong AFAIK... i'm thinking i need something like word_rule = ur'(?:(?<![%(l)s])|^)%(parent)s(?:%(subpages)s(?:[%(u)s]+[%(l)s]+){2,})+(?![%(u)s%(l)s]+)' % { ^ ^ ^ 'u': config.chars_upper, 'l': config.chars_lower, 'subpages': config.allow_subpages and (wikiutil.CHILD_PREFIX + '?') or '', 'parent': config.allow_subpages and (ur'(?:%s)?' % re.escape(PARENT_PREFIX)) or '', } and this seems to work - but i'm wondering what the 's' in '%(u)s' implies? obviously the u is the char range (unicode?)... but what's the 's'? i'm looking at http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/ and coming up dry. sorry i don't have more time to rtfm - just want to implement this simple fix and get on to fcgi configuration! ;-) cheers. -a -- =============================================================================== | email :: ara [dot] t [dot] howard [at] noaa [dot] gov | phone :: 303.497.6469 | My religion is very simple.
