I tested with Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:01:18) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 re.search(r'http://v.pptv.com/show/.*?\.html.+', 'http://v.pptv.com/show/2bwkox9SS4nsatI.html?rcc_src=P5') does give a match, but it show the result <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 54), match='http://v.pptv.com/show/2bwkox9SS4nsatI.html?rcc_s> missing rc=P5' in IDLE BTW, py2.7 works fine

See issue 17087: "Improve the repr for regular expression match objects". It was decided that it might be a bad idea to show the entire matched portion of the string because it could be very long, so it's shown truncated if necessary.

If it is truncated, should it end with '...' or [...]?

I think so, the current behavior is misleading 在2016年12月27 00时08分, "R. David Murray"<report@bugs.python.org>写道: R.

Probably "...", although we also have to consider that the matched portion could in fact not be truncated but just happen to end with "...", although that would be a rare occurrence.
