Hello,
in the howto (http://docs.python.org/2/howto/regex.html#regex-howto)
there are code examples near the end of the page (the non-greedy
pattern) I am referring to:
s = 'Title'
>>> len(s)
32
>>> print re.match('<.*>', s).span()
(0, 32)
>>> print re.match('<.*>', s).group()
Title
print re.ma
and > from 2.
resulting in '<'
Am I right? If so, is there an easily graspable reason for the engine
designers to implement it this way?
If I'm wrong, where is my fault?

Hello,
given this kind of string:
"start SomeArbitraryAmountOfText start AnotherArbitraryAmountOfText end"
a search string like: r"start.*?end" would give me the entire string
from the first "start" to "end" : "start SomeArbitraryAmountOfText start
AnotherArbitraryAmountOfText end"
but I am int
