python regular expressions for humans
This module helps you build complex regular expressions.
Example:
>>> from re_patterns import Rstr
>>> regex = Rstr("Isaac").not_followed_by("Newton").named("non_newtonians")
>>> regex
'(?P<non-newtonians>Isaac(?!Newton))'
>>> match = regex.search("Isaac Lobkowicz, Isaac Newton")
>>> match.span()
(0, 5)
>>> match.group("non_newtonians")
'Isaac'
For further uses please look at the methods of the Rstr class in __init__.py.
