In the re module there is an experimental feature called Scanner.
Some unexpected behavior was found while working with it.
Here is an example:
>>> re.Scanner([('\w+=(\d+);', lambda s,g: s.match.group(1))]).scan('x=5;')
(['5;'], '')
The obvious error is the semicolon returned via capturing group 1.
Adding a dummy rule at the beginning, seems to solve that issue:
>>> re.Scanner([('z', None), ('\w+=(\d+);', lambda s,g: s.match.group(1))]).scan('x=5;')
(['5'], '')
Adding a capturing group around \w+ also returns the correct answer:
>>> re.Scanner([('z', None), ('(\w+)=(\d+);', lambda s,g: s.match.group(1))]).scan('x=5;')
(['x'], '')
But then, if I ask for the second group, the problem appears again:
>>> re.Scanner([('z', None), ('(\w+)=(\d+);', lambda s,g: s.match.group(2))]).scan('x=5;')
(['5;'], '') |
