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 Section 1.2.
This chapter covers the version of re
included
with Python 2.2, although the module has been available in similar
form since Python 1.5.
