Compiling a regex with the `re.DEBUG` flag indicates that the user wants to see the debug output. `re.compile` is cached, though, so there is the possibility of no output.
Example:
import re
re.compile('1',re.DEBUG) #expected output
re.compile('1',re.DEBUG) #no output
re.compile('',re.DEBUG) #no output (empty regex)
The workaround is to call `re.purge()`, which may remove other cached regexes that are still in use.
(Background: I wanted to check for equivalence of regexes, and a StackOverflow answer suggested comparing their `re.DEBUG`. http://stackoverflow.com/a/21398362/2963903)

A simple workaround is to bypass the cache when DEBUG is passed. See attached patch. (not sure this applies as a bug fix, but DEBUG probably isn't used in production anyway: the potential for breakage is low) |
