Re: [Jython-dev] Staying JDK 1.2 compatible (was: basic pickling)

[Charlie G. <cha...@gm...>]

I was planning on fixing re for 2.3 next.  Right now the tests cause
oro to throw a couple of runtime exceptions, but that's about as far
as I've gotten.  I was thinking about pulling in the latest oro to
Jython and starting to fix things.  Reading their docs it looks like
I'd need to add a few features to get them up to Python 2.3 level.  If
we move to 1.4 I could switch re from using oro to using
java.util.regex.  In a quick comparison to Python the only thing I
found missing from Java's regular expression support is named
capturing groups, and I'm pretty sure I could layer that on top pretty
easily.  I've never really used oro though, so maybe there's a reason
we need to use it instead of java.util.regex
