[issue10532] A bug related to matching the empty string

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

The spans say this:

>>> for m in re.finditer('((.d.)*)*', 'adb'):
    print(m.span())

    
(0, 3)
(3, 3)

There's an non-empty match followed by an empty match.

IHMO, not a bug.
