[Jython-dev] Default re module: sre or pre?

[<bc...@wo...>]

Hi,

We have two bugs regarding the parentheses counting in re for named
groups like (?P<name>). This situation works in the sre module, so I'm
not all that inclined to begin adding lots of code to re to handle it.

Should we switch to sre as the default re module for alpha-2 ?
I think we should; the feedback I got when sre was the default re in the
errata makes me confident that it is ready. The ORO matcher will still
be available with the name "pre" and as the "re" name by editing the
registry file.

The bugs:
