Eliminating the "invalid character range"?
Mistake:
Exception Value: bad character range
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.6/re.py in _compile, line 245
Python Executable: /usr/bin/python
I have no idea what this means. Can anyone guess or point me in the right direction?
Everything worked great before. I only changed a few trivial bits of code!: S
if "-" in stop:
dt1 = datetime.strptime(stop, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
stopInS = time.mktime(dt1.timetuple())
stopInMS = int(startInS) * 1000
else:
splitter = re.compile(r'[\D]')
preStop = splitter.split(stop)
stopInMS = ''.join(preStop)
I was just playing around with double quotes before the "in" ... then it all crashed with this error.
EDIT:
Another regular expression is present:
splitter1 = re.compile('[:]')
arrayOfIDs = splitter1.split(identifier)
idLens = len(arrayOfIDs)

The exception you are getting is that the python re.py module cannot compile the regex somewhere because you have a bad character range.
Ranges of characters are such as [a-z0-9]
(accepts a lowercase letter or number).
For example:
import re
re.compile('[a-0]')
raises the exception bad character range
you are getting. Look for somewhere you're creating a character range that doesn't make sense (it doesn't [:]
, which compiles perfectly).
