# Hyperscan for Python

[](https://github.com/darvid/python-hyperscan/actions/workflows/wheels.yml)     [](https://python-hyperscan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

A CPython extension for [Hyperscan](https://www.hyperscan.io/), Intel’s open source, high-performance multiple regex matching library. Currently only supports manylinux-compatible Linux distributions.

• ✅ Binary wheels with support for Linux and macOS x86_64 (ARM64 and win32 support is planned)

• ✅ Statically linked (no need to build Hyperscan)

• ✅ [Chimera](https://intel.github.io/hyperscan/dev-reference/chimera.html) support

## Installation

`shell # 🪄 Installing libhs is NOT required, because python-hyperscan is statically linked pip install hyperscan `

## API Support

python-hyperscan currently exposes most of the C API, with the following caveats or exceptions:

• No [stream compression][2] support.

• No [custom allocator][3] support.

• hs_expression_info, hs_expression_ext_info, hs_populate_platform, and hs_serialized_database_info not exposed yet.
