[issue18779] Misleading documentations and comments in regular expression HOWTO

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I was wondering which doc you were alluding it, before I noticed your patch is against the regex HOWTO.
The HOWTO seems quite outdated wrt. Python 3. For example "\w" is not equivalent to "[a-zA-Z0-9_]", anymore, except with the ASCII flag.
