python 2.7.3版导入maxrepeat模块时出现问题

MAXREPEAT 已使用 由 re 模块作为可在模式中指定的最小、最大或精确重复次数的上限。例如:

>>> import re
>>> re.compile(r'a{100}')         # exactly 100 "a"s
<_sre.SRE_Pattern object at 0x7fa68be10780>
>>> re.compile(r'a{100, 200}')    # between 100 and 200 "a"s

等于或超过 最大重复 在重复中,值导致模块中的正则表达式解析器引发异常 sre_parse

>>> from sre_constants import MAXREPEAT
>>> MAXREPEAT
4294967295L

>>> re.compile(r'a{{{}}}'.format(MAXREPEAT-1))
<_sre.SRE_Pattern object at 0x7f0ec959f660>

>>> re.compile(r'a{{{}}}'.format(MAXREPEAT))

    raise OverflowError("the repetition number is too large")
OverflowError: the repetition number is too large

不应该有任何理由关心 重新

try:
    re.compile(r'a{{{}}}'.format(MAXREPEAT))
except OverflowError as exc:
    print 'Failed to compile pattern: {}'.format(exc.message)
