[issue40879] Strange regex cycle

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters <tim at python.org> added the comment:

Closing this as "Won't Fix", since the possibility of exponential-time behavior with naively written nested quantifiers is well known, and there are no plans to "do something" about that.

----------
resolution:  -> wont fix
stage:  -> resolved
status: open -> closed
