Proposed patch removes following deprecated re features: * Three unused not documented functions: isident(), isdigit() and isname(). They were deprecated since Python 3.3 (). * '\' + ASCII character now is error if this combination is not defined. This allows to add new control combinations without breaking compatibility. This was deprecated since Python 3.5 (). * Support for re.LOCALE with string patterns or with re.ASCII. This was deprecated since Python 3.5 (). |

FWIW, this breaks Mailman 3.1 (and probably 2.1) |

Specifically, point #2; undefined combinations of \ + ASCII becoming an error. |

Could Mailman be fixed? Undefined combinations of \ + ASCII emitted warnings in 3.5. And now they emit warnings even just in string literals (). If Mailman use undefined escape combinations, it could suffer from too. |

The Mailman code is basically trying to do this: p = re.compile('%\d*d') p.sub(r'\s*\d+\s*', some_string) And so we get the error: sre_constants.error: bad escape \s at position 0 But this directly contradicts the documentation for re.sub(): "... if it is a string, any backslash escapes in it are processed. That is, \n is converted to a single newline character, \r is converted to a carriage return, and so forth. Unknown escapes such as \& are left alone." Clearly \s is not being left alone, so this is a real regression. |

This part of the documentation was just overlooked. Issue28450 is opened for this. |

If you insist I could revert converting warnings to errors (only in replacement string or all?) in 3.6. But I think they should left errors in 3.7. The earlier we make undefined escapes the errors, the earlier we can define new special escape sequences without confusing users. It is bad if the escape sequence is valid in two Python versions but has different meaning. |

There is still the argument that we shouldn't break 2.7 compatibility unnecessarily until 2.7 is out of maintenance. That is: warnings are good, removals are bad. (I haven't read through this issue, so I may be off base.) |

Here is a patch that partially reverts changes of . It allows using unknown escapes in re.sub() replacement template, but they are deprecated and will be errors in 3.7. If this is good to you Barry, and Ned allows, it can be committed in 3.6 only. But this could delay adding support of new escapes (like \xXX, \uXXXX, etc) in replacement templates. |

It is unfortunate that the deprecation note did not explicitly mention replacement templates as well as regexp patterns. While there are good arguments to be made for either case, I think it makes more sense to treat the replacement template as following the rules for strings rather than for regexps which would argue for making the proposed change to cause only a deprecation warning in templates for 3.6 - although I'm not happy about making such a change at the last minute. Serhiy, please push to 3.6 for rc1. There should also be a note in the What's New for 3.6 document. |

Thanks, Serhiy, for reverting the error handling for 3.6.0 (in 3.6.0rc1). I'm going to mark this as closed. Issue28450 is still open at the moment regarding the documentation and possible 3.7 changes. |
