Issue 28486: Wrong end index and subgroup for group match (original) (raw)

Hi, python re returns wrong end index of searched group and also subgroup itself.

Example:

In: price_string = u"1 307 000,00 Kč" In: match = re.search(r"([,.]00)\s?.*$", price_string) In: print price_string, "|", match.groups(), "|", match.group(0), "|", match.start(0), "|", match.end(0), "|", match.span() Out: 1 307 000,00 Kč | (u',00',) | ,00 Kč | 9 | 15 | (9, 15)

As I understand documentation start and end functions should return start and endindex of subgroup matched in search. I .groups() output I see subgroup is correct u',00' but end function returns end index for subgroup ',00 Kč'. Also calling specific subgroup .group(0) returns incorrect one ',00 Kč'. It seems match return end index of whole pattern, not only subgroup.
