[issue16203] Proposal: add re.fullmatch() method

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett added the comment:

It certainly appears to ignore the whitespace, even if the "(?x)" is at the end of the pattern or in the middle of a group.

Another point we need to consider is that the user might want to use a pre-compiled pattern.
