| Oct 4, 2019 at 19:19 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | @AustinHastings I was asking because I didn't knew if it was required to capture the separator for it to be part of the result. But thinking about it, it would be pretty weird if the default behaviour was to include the separator, with no option to do not include it in the results. But thank you | |
| Oct 4, 2019 at 18:13 | comment | added | aghast | @IsmaelMiguel: This is the OP's use case. He wants the punctuation as well as the non-punctuation. That's a documented behavior of re.split, that if you use capture groups the capture text is included in the result. | |

Also, if you have Python 3, they already included regex as re, for free! What a deal!

Is the capturing group required in (\p{Punctuation})? If it isn't required, isn't it better to just do \p{Punctuation} instead? (aka: no capturing group).

Is unicodedata.category(char).startswith("P") the same as regex's \p{Punctuation}?
