Pydantic verification. Check if a string does not contain certain characters

Question content

I need to make sure that the string does not contain Cyrillic characters. I check like this:

from pydantic import basemodel, field

class mymodel(basemodel):
    content_en: str = field(pattern=r"[^а-яА-Я]")


data = mymodel(content_en="has wrong content 'йцукен'")
print(data)
>>> content_en="has wrong content 'йцукен'"

But when I pass a string containing Cyrillic letters to the content_en field, no error is thrown.

Estimated:

pydantic_core._pydantic_core.validationerror: 1 validation error for mymodel
...

How to check correctness?

python 3.8

Padantic 2.5

Solution (thanks to @chepner):

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    content_en: str = Field(pattern=r"^[^а-яА-ЯёЁ]*$")

Correct answer

Your pattern matches any string that contains at least one non-Cyrillic character, not a string consisting only of non-Cyrillic characters .

>>> mymodel(content_en="has wrong content 'йцукен'")
mymodel(content_en="has wrong content 'йцукен'")
>>> mymodel(content_en="йцукен")

The correct pattern is ^[^а-яА-Я]*$:

>>> class MyModel(BaseModel):
...     content_en: str = Field(pattern=r"^[^а-яА-Я]*$")
...
>>> MyModel(content_en="Has wrong content 'йцукен'")
