New submission from C. Y. Hollander <jud...@gmail.com>:
The documentation states that match.end([group]) returns "the ind[ex] of the...
end of the substring matched by group". In fact, it returns [said index] + 1,
as demonstrated by the example below:
s = 'example'
sre = re.search('le', s)
s[sre.end()]
Incidentally, I don't see the logic of this behaviour, but in any case it
should be correctly documented.
