[New-bugs-announce] [issue13100] sre_compile._optimize_unicode() needs a cleanup

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

The following comment is wrong, 

    except IndexError:
        # non-BMP characters; XXX now they should work
        return charset

sys.maxunicode != 65535 is now always true in Python 3.3

        if sys.maxunicode != 65535:
            # XXX: negation does not work with big charsets
            # XXX2: now they should work, but removing this will make the
            # charmap 17 times bigger
            return charset
