I'm trying to do the following:
import ts_regex Z=ts_regex.compile('\(^\|[^%]\)%Z') ts_regex.gsub(Z, '\\1BAR', '%Z foo %Z') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/zope/SiteBox/lib/python/ts_regex.py", line 109, in __call__ try: return apply(self._f, args, kw) File "/usr//lib/python1.5/regsub.py", line 38, in gsub regs = prog.regs AttributeError: regs
This works just fine if you don't compile the regex first:
import ts_regex ts_regex.gsub('\(^\|[^%]\)%Z', '\\1BAR', '%Z foo %Z') 'BAR foo BAR'
The problem is that a ts_regex.compile instances do not expose the attribute "regs" that the method gsub of lib/python1.5/regsub.py requires. I don't know the details of what is thread-safe and what is not in the regsub module, so I won't hazard a patch here. Perhaps overriding __getattr__ to return "regs" safely would help? I don't know. I can also get it to work if I pass in the unwrapped compiled regular expression:
ts_regex.gsub(Z._r, '\\1BAR', '%Z foo %Z') 'BAR foo BAR'
Is doing this in Zope threadsafe? -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
