[New-bugs-announce] [issue12397] re match object methods have no docstrings

[Ned Batchelder]

New submission from Ned Batchelder <ned at nedbatchelder.com>:

If I have a match object in hand, and ask for help on its methods, there is no information:

>>> m = re.match("a", "a")
>>> help(m.group)
Help on built-in function group:

group(...)

>>>
