Python regular expressions must not have more than 100 capturing groups. Really ?? I have been waiting a long time now for Python to get rid of this limitation. Ahh - The "dark side" of Open Source: If nobody cares, then you will have to do it yourself (and often people do not care because nobody had the need to go there - for good reasons). My question is: Does anyone know if the problem is going to be fixed in the next few months or so? Or is there a way to circumvent it? After a quick glean across the source code for the sre module, it appears that the only place the code mentions a limit of 100 groups is in fact the place that you quote. I suspect it is there for some historic reason - the people to ask is of course "pythonware.com" who wrote it; there may well be a good reason for the limitation. What happens if you up the limit to whatever you need? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
