Summary: bug 817234
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=817234&group_id=5470&atid=105470
in Python 2.3 and 2.3.1, finditer does not raise StopIteration if the
end of the string matches with an empty match.
That is, the following code will loop forever:
>>> import re
>>> i = re.finditer( ".*", "asdf" )
>>> for m in i: print m.span()
...

Seo Sanghyeon posted what appears to be a correct fix. The code was introduced in the fix for bug 581080 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=581080&group_id=5470&atid=105470
but removing this line does not re-introduce that bug.
Thanks, and kudos to Seo...
