I was reading in the Python docs of the re module that the meaning of
\w depends on the locale settings. So, I expected that "it just works"
with
re.match("(?!\d)\w*\Z", variable_name, re.LOCALE|re.UNICODE)
It matches anything that is formed by letters, digits and underscores
but does not start with a digit. I thought that the re.LOCALE would
make the regular expression accept that a German umlaut is a letter,
but apparently it doesn't, even after using
sage: import locale
sage: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE')
What is needed to do in order to "localize" a regular expression?
Cheers,
Simon
