[issue26068] re.compile() repr end quote truncated

[Emanuel Barry]

Emanuel Barry added the comment:

Truncating at 200 characters is actually a common occurrence in the C code, just barely anyone notice this, as it's not common to need more than 200 characters for most expressions.

I don't think this needs to be changed at all; the rare case should not affect the common ones. If eval()'ing your repr fails, you can always access the full regex from `exp.pattern` - which doesn't truncate at 200 characters :)
