[New-bugs-announce] [issue2860] re module fails to handle digits in byte strings

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net>:

The following fails in Py3.0a5:

    >>> import re
    >>> re.search(b'(\d+)', b'-2.80 98\n')

I get a TypeError: "Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly" in
line 204 of file "sre_parse.py", code being "char = char + c".
