[issue14460] In re's positive lookbehind assertion repetition works

[py.user]

py.user added the comment:

>>> m = re.search(r'(?<=(a)){10}bc', 'abc', re.DEBUG)
max_repeat 10 10 
  assert -1 
    subpattern 1 
      literal 97 
literal 98 
literal 99 
>>> m.group()
'bc'
>>>
>>> m.groups()
('a',)
>>>


It works like there are 10 letters "a" before letter "b".
