Initial Comment: Hello all!

As Merlijn suggested at [1] I should also report this here too. I would solve it myself but a quick shot does not seam appropriate.

[1] https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1466

Python code using:

...

...

import re re.sub(..., flags=...)

does not work in python 2.6 because the optional parameter 'flags' was introduced in python 2.7. As Merlijn noted, this should be replaced by

...

...

re.compile(..., flags=...).sub(...)

A fast 'grep "flags" *' in my pywikipedia directory of revision 10450, yields at least following matches:

imagecopy_self.py: match = re.search(regex, text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) imagecopy_self.py: contents[u'permission'] = re.sub(regex, u'', contents[u'permission'], flags=re.IGNORECASE) imagecopy_self.py: text = re.sub(toRemove, u'', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) imagecopy_self.py: text = re.sub(regex, u'', text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) imagecopy_self.py: match = re.search(regex, text, flags=re.IGNORECASE) imagecopy_self.py: result = re.sub(regex, replacement, match.group(0), flags=re.IGNORECASE)

...so there are at least 4 problematic cases which should be changed. I am not aware if a similar issues exists with 're.search'.

Thanks and greetings
