Easy does it!
easy-expressions 
The world’s most gangsta regular expressions library.
It turns this..
regex = re.compile(r'(?:(?:\$){1,1})(?:(?:(?:\d)){1,})(?:(?:\.){1,1})(?:\d)(?:\d)')into this!
from easy_expressions import Easy
easy = Easy() /
.find("$") /
.min(1).digits() /
.then(".") /
.digit() /
.digit()
regex = easy.getRegex()
regex.findall("$10.00");About
easy-expressions is a python regular expressions library with a Python for Humans philosophy. Rather than having to remember the complex regular expressions syntax, easy-expressions allows you to write complicated regular expressions in natural English, so you’ll get your pattern matches right the first time without any headache.
Installation
pip install easy-expressions
Examples
Searching for dollar amounts
from easy_expressions import Easy
easy = Easy() /
.find("$") /
.min(1).digits() /
.then(".") /
.digit() /
.digit()
regex.test("$10.00"); # True
regex.test("$XX.YZ"); # FalseSearching for Credit Cards
easy = Easy() \
.startOfLine() \
.exactly(4).digits() \
.then('-') \
.exactly(4).digits() \
.then('-') \
.exactly(4).digits() \
.then('-') \
.exactly(4).digits()
input_s = "Hey Joe! The credit card number for the invoice is 4444-5555-6666-7777. Thanks!"
easy.test(input_s) # True
input_s = "Hey Joe! The credit card number for the invoice is 1-2-3-4. Thanks!"
easy.test(input_s) # FalseInspiration
Regexes are hard when they should be easy.
I had this idea while watching Straight Outta Compton. Turns out [@thebinarysearchtree](https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/) had already implemented it in JS, so this is essentially a port of that.
