Interesting. In my regex module (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex) I have: bool(regex.match(pat, "bb", regex.VERBOSE)) # True bool(regex.match(pat, "b{1,3}", regex.VERBOSE)) # False because I thought that when the VERBOSE flag is turned on it should ignore whitespace except when it's inside a character class, so "b{1, 3}" would be treated as "b{1,3}". Apparently re has another exception.
