[New-bugs-announce] [issue29035] regrtest: simplify regex to match test names for the --fromfile option

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Lib/test/libregrtest/main.py uses a complex regex to find "test_builtin" in lines like '0:00:00 [  4/400] test_builtin -- test_dict took 1 sec'. Recently, I changed (change d8222c197831) the regex to support a filename containing a list of filenames. Example:

haypo at selma$ ls Lib/test/test_*xml*py >| list

haypo at selma$ cat list 
Lib/test/test_docxmlrpc.py
Lib/test/test_xml_dom_minicompat.py
Lib/test/test_xml_etree_c.py
Lib/test/test_xml_etree.py
Lib/test/test_xmlrpc_net.py
Lib/test/test_xmlrpc.py

haypo at selma$ ./python -m test --fromfile=list --list
test_docxmlrpc
test_xml_dom_minicompat
test_xml_etree_c
test_xml_etree
test_xmlrpc_net
test_xmlrpc

Serhiy sent me a private message to suggest to simply the regex. So here is a patch.
