regexp partial matching, or hitEnd
I want something like this in python :

First you have to call one of the standard methods to apply the regex,
like matches() or find().
If that returns false, you can use the hitEnd() method to find out if some
longer string could have matched:
String[] inputs = { AA, BB };
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(AB);
Matcher m = p.matcher();
for (String s : inputs)
{
m.reset(s);
System.out.printf(%s -- full match: %B; partial match: %B%n,
s, m.matches(), m.hitEnd());
}
output:
AA -- full match: FALSE; partial match: TRUE
BB -- full match: FALSE; partial match: FALSE
So. Is there already some function like hitEnd() in any python regexp
library?
Or if not, maybe it's could be added in the feature to the standart re
module? :)

Talking of which is this going into Python 3.3, I see it's mentioned in PEP398 but can't find any mention in the Python 3.3 What's New docs, or have I simply missed something? -- Cheers.

I think it has been approved in principle, but still needs some people to do something to actually make it happen. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
