Is Python supposed to support POSIX "equivalence classes"? I tried the following in Py2 and Py3:>>> re.sub('[[=a=]]', 'A', 'aáàãâä', re.U) 'aáàãâä' which suggests that it doesn't (I would have expected "AAAAAA" as the result). Is there a way to get this behavior? I found that perl knows about them but treats them as an exception for now[1]. Supposedly GNU awk (and other GNU POSIXish tools) recognize character classes, as does vim. Thanks, -tkc [1] http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrecharclass.html
I wouldn't know directly as I tend to avoid them like the plague, but if not are they in the "new" regex module, see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex/2015.05.28 and/or http://bugs.python.org/issue2636 ???
