[issue15956] backreference to named group does not work

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

\g is meant to be used in re.sub(), in the replacement text (see the docs); in the search pattern, (?P=startquote) can be used to refer to a named group.
The docs of "(?P<name>...)" looks clear to me.
