Python - re.error: unterminated character set at position

问题

The following code:

text = "I'm a string that contains this characters {}, [], ()"
slice = "this characters {}, [], ()"
print([ (m.start(0), m.end(0)) for m in re.finditer(slice, text) ])

Shows the error "re.error: unterminated character set at position 12", That it's, most likely, because of the metacharacters "{}, [], ()". Is there any regular expression that can make finditer ignore it?

回答1:

You must escape the special characters in your regex:

slice = "this characters \{}, \[], \(\)"

Note that only the opening brace and square bracket need an escape, but both parentheses.
