This works: r'([xy])(?:\1)+' This won't compile, "error: nothing to repeat" r'([xy])(?:\s*\1)+' I can execute this under other regex engines, and it seems to me that it really should work. |

I agree that it's a bug.
A workaround is r'([xy])(?:\s{0,65534}\1)+'. A repeat of 65535 is
treated as unlimited (but no warning is given).

Just taking out the "raise" seems questionable to me; are you sure there are no valid errors that can be caught there? |

> are you sure there are no valid errors that can be caught there? Sorry, No. See http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_compile.py?r1=17949&r2=17948&pathrev=17949 and http://osdir.com/ml/python.bugs/2000-10/msg00010.html links. |

Closing in favor of #2636, which allows this regex to be compiled. |
