I found it odd that pywin32 depends on a third-party regex package. Looking up
regex.symcomp
and the history of stdlibregex
package being renamedre
, it seems this has been invalid since Python 2 ! Is this entire thing all just dead code ?There's not even any issue mentioning
AttributeError: module 'regex' has no attribute 'symcomp'
orNo module named 'regex'
. The only somewhat related mention is in #1467 where the user string-searched, not import.
