Nice! Internally we have a PCRE support on our code search and I regularly run a regex to find and fix these. I've also found a ton on opensource project which I've been trying to fix: https://github.com/YosysHQ/prjtrellis/pull/176 https://github.com/UWQuickstep/quickstep/pull/9 https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/51578 https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/21197 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/335 https://github.com/PyCQA/baron/pull/156 https://github.com/dagwieers/pygments/pull/1 https://github.com/zhuyifei1999/guppy3/pull/12 https://github.com/pyusb/pyusb/pull/277 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/pull... It is indeed a very common mistake in Python, and can be very hard to debug. It bit me once and wasted a whole day for me, so I've been finding/fixing them ever since trying to save others the sam

e pain I went through. EDIT: I will point out that I've found this error in other non-Python code too, such as c++ (see the 2nd PR for example). Here's the regex for anyone curious: [([{]\s*\n?(\s*['"](\w)+['"],\n)+(\s*['"]\w+['"]\n)(\s*['"]\w+['"],\n)*
In 5% of 666 Python repos had comma typo bugs (inc V8, TensorFlow and PyTorch)
