Python
Python provides a rich, Perl-like regular expression syntax in the re
module. The re
module uses a Traditional NFA match engine. For an explanation of the rules behind an NFA engine, see "Introduction to Regexes and Pattern Matching.â
This chapter will cover the version of re
included with Python 2.3.5, although the module has been available in similar form since Python 1.5.
