Steven D'Aprano added the comment: As I explained on the thread (possibly my post crossed in the mail with Ryan's patch) I don't believe this is a bug fix. MatchObject.group has only accepted actual ints, not longs, since Python 1.5 (tested 1.5, 2.4-2.7). Nor is there any requirement to support longs, since the number of groups cannot exceed that represented by a regular int.
I don't believe this is a bug fix, I believe this is a new feature, and as such inappropriate for 2.7. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22530> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
