[Jack Diederich] > I can't find sre_match() anywhere in the source It's in _sre.c, here: LOCAL(int) SRE_MATCH(SRE_STATE* state, SRE_CODE* pattern, int level) SRE_MATCH is a macro, and expands to either sre_match or sre_umatch, depending on whether Unicode support is enabled. Note that _sre.c arranges to compile itself *twice*, via its #define SRE_RECURSIVE #include "_sre.c" #undef SRE_RECURSIVE This is to get both 8-bit and Unicode versions of the basic routines when Unicode support is enabled. > and it doesn't have a man page. Heh. Does *any* Python source code have a man page <wink>? > ... > I was actually poking around to see how hard it would be to allow > pure-python string classes to work with the re modules. Sorry, no idea. Note that sre works on any object supporting the ill-fated buffer interface. You may have a hard time figuring out that too. But, e.g., it implies that re can search directly over an mmap'ed file (you don't need to read the file into a string first).
