Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
The re.M flag is an attribute of the compiled pattern, and as such it
must be passed to compile(), not to findall().
These all work:
>>> re.compile(r"[a-z]+").findall("hello world")
['hello', 'world']
>>> re.compile(r"[a-z]+", re.M).findall
New submission from Misha Seltzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
import re
regex = r"[\w]+"
# Normal behaviour:
>>> re.findall(regex, "hello world", re.M)
['hello', 'world']
>>> re.compile(regex).findall("hello world")
['hello', 'world']
# Bug behaviour:
>>> re.compile(regex).findall("hello world", re.M)
