New submission from David Rager: In the following sentence, "few" should probably be "fewer."
"Repetitions such as * are greedy; when repeating a RE, the matching engine will try to repeat it as many times as possible. If later portions of the pattern don’t match, the matching engine will then back up and try again with few repetitions." https://docs.python.org/2/howto/regex.html Thanks for such a great language and documentation! My apologies if this isn't actually a typo. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 260411 nosy: David Rager, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Typo in regex documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26378> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
