[issue23066] re.match hang

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Please go to python-list to get help about writing re expressions for parsing. The example regexp does not technically hang, it is just exploring a very large set of alternatives, none of which match (because the trailing '()' doesn't match anything).
