pygnuregex 1.0.0

An implementation of the GNU interface to regex in Python

Pygnuregex, GNU regex for Python

Pygnuregex is a Python package for the GNU interface of regex functions in <regex.h>. The GNU interface provides a wide range of different syntaxes for the regex compiler. This package requires GNU libc to work properly; prefer the sdist if you're worried about ABI compatibility.

Example

import pygnuregex
p = pygnuregex.compile(b"f\\(oo\\)[0-9]+")
result = p.search(b"hello foo123!") # ==> 6
p.span() # ==> [(6, 12), (7, 9)]

The SyntaxFlag enum contains all the available syntax options that may be set in pygnuregex.compile().
