Issue 1700: Regular Expression inline flags not handled correctly for some unicode characters (original) (raw)

Looks like the wrong execution flags are being passed to the function that creates the actual pattern object; the SRE compiler does the right thing, but the engine isn't running with the right flags in the last case. Changing the call to _sre.compile in sre_compile.py to:

return _sre.compile(
    pattern, flags | p.pattern.flags, code,
    p.pattern.groups-1,
    groupindex, indexgroup
    )

should do the trick, I think. (got no time to fix my broken Python SVN setup right now, but if someone wants to verify this and add the necessary tests to the test suite, be my guest).
