python compilefailed什么意思,re.compile（）或任何给定的Python库调用是否引发异常？...

I can't tell from the Python documentation whether the re.compile(x) function may throw an exception (assuming you pass in a string). I imagine there is something that could be considered an invalid regular expression. The larger question is, where do I go to find if a given Python library call may throw exception(s) and what those are?

Well, re.compile certainly may:

>>> import re

>>> re.compile('he(lo')

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

File "C:\Python25\lib\re.py", line 180, in compile

return _compile(pattern, flags)

File "C:\Python25\lib\re.py", line 233, in _compile

raise error, v # invalid expression

sre_constants.error: unbalanced parenthesis

The documentation does support this, in a roundabout way - check the bottom of the "Module Contents" page for (brief) description of the error exception.

Unfortunately, I don't have any answer to the general question. I suppose the documentation for the various modules varies in quality and thoroughness. If there were particular modules you were interested in, you might be able to decompile them (if written in Python) or even look at the source, if they're in the standard library.
