[issue7940] re.finditer and re.findall should support negative end positions

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett added the comment:

Yes. As msg99456 suggests, I fixed it the my source code before posting.

Compare re in Python 3.3.2:

>>> re.compile('x').findall('xxxx', 1, 3)
['x', 'x']
>>> re.compile('x').findall('xxxx', 1, -1)
[]

with regex:

>>> regex.compile('x').findall('xxxx', 1, 3)
['x', 'x']
>>> regex.compile('x').findall('xxxx', 1, -1)
['x', 'x']
