[Python-Dev] failure in test_sre???

[Mark Favas]

Is it just me, or is test_sre meant to fail, following the recent
changes to _sre.c?

Short failure message:
test test_sre failed -- Writing: 'sre.match("\\x%02x" % i, chr(i)) !=
None', expected: ''

Full failure messages:
Running tests on character literals
sre.match("\x%02x" % i, chr(i)) != None FAILED
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_sre.py", line 18, in test
    r = eval(expression)
ValueError: invalid \x escape
sre.match("\x%02x0" % i, chr(i)+"0") != None FAILED
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_sre.py", line 18, in test
    r = eval(expression)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_sre.py", line 18, in test
    r = eval(expression)

(the above sequence is repeated another 7 times)
