1 month ago In terms of alternatives I found the following:
- https://github.com/MagicStack/MagicPython/blob/master/grammars/src/regexp.inc.syntax.yaml
- combined with https://github.com/watermarkhu/textmate-grammar-python we could parse regular expression in structures that are designed to round trip.
It might be less work to properly adjust sre_parse36.py to only to the roundtripable parsing job without any optimizations
Some regex patterns are not colorized correctly. We could add a check to ensure that the colorized pattern round trips, and if it doesn’t then we fallback to the generic string colorization.

Since we know our regex colorizer is not perfect, we shouldn’t emit warnings about failures in the regex colorizing.
