[New-bugs-announce] [issue30147] change in interface for compiled regex.pattern

[Greg Lindahl]

New submission from Greg Lindahl:

The following script runs fine in python 3.6 and recently started failing the assertion in 3.7-dev and nightly

import re

r = re.compile(re.escape('/foo'))
print(r)
print(r.pattern)
assert r.pattern.startswith('\\/')
