[New-bugs-announce] [issue14460] In re's positive lookbehind assertion repetition works

[py.user]

New submission from py.user <port139 at yandex.ru>:

>>> import re
>>> re.search(r'(?<=a){100,200}bc', 'abc', re.DEBUG)
max_repeat 100 200 
  assert -1 
    literal 97 
literal 98 
literal 99 
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7429f38>
>>> re.search(r'(?<=a){100,200}bc', 'abc', re.DEBUG).group()
'bc'
>>>


I expected "nothing to repeat"
