This pattern fails with sre:
>>> re.match("(?s){.*?}","{"+' '*17000+"}")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "E:\pythonWinCVS\python\dist\src\lib\sre.py", line 44, in match
return _compile(pattern, flags).match(string)
RuntimeError: maximum recursion limit exceeded
The same pattern with even a much larger search buffer works fine on 1.52
This patch optimizes the case ".*?" and avoids the recursion limit.
After the patch:
>>> import re
>>> re.findall('ab.*?bc', 'abababbc')
['abababbc']
>>> re.findall('ab??bc', 'abababbc')
['abbc']
>>> re.sub("(?s){.*?}","","{"+' '*19047+"}")
''
>>> re.match("(?s){.*?}","{"+' '*16048+"}")
