[issue12749] lib re cannot match non-BMP ranges (all versions, all builds)

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

On wide 3.2 it passes too, so the failure is limited to narrow builds (are you sure that it fails on wide builds for you?).

On a narrow 2.7 I get a slightly different error though:

match 1 passed
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bigrange.py", line 16, in <module>
    if re.search("[𝒜-𝒵]", "𝒞", flags): 
  File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/re.py", line 142, in search
    return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
  File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/re.py", line 244, in _compile
    raise error, v # invalid expression
sre_constants.error: bad character range
