[lordgafal]

Hi,

in my off-time lately i have been learning python and pygtk to make an application. well anyway i got stuck on a RE problem if anyone could please help

here where it gets stuck (actually dosent do anything):


clean_sources_lists = [item for item in listOfSrc if re.search(pattern, item)]

in context:



def cleanSrcList(self, listOfSrc):
pattern = '^deb.'
clean_sources_lists = [item for item in listOfSrc if re.search(pattern, item)]



thanks for helping

I think you need to show listOfSrc too.

This trivial test succeeds, anyway:


>>> import re
>>> [i for i in ["deb.hej", "hopp"] if re.search("^deb.", i)]
['deb.hej']
>>>

But maybe you forgot to return the clean_sources_list from the function?
