RetroSearch Browse

in the regex module re:

Note: Match() is not exactly equivalent to Search() with "^". For
example:

 re.search(r'^B', 'A\nB',re.M) # succeeds
 re.match(r'B', 'A\nB',re.M)   # fails

if without the re.M, would re.search and re.match be equivalent?

------------

i wish to spruce up the rewritten re-module doc
 http://xahlee.org/perl-python/python_re-write/lib/module-re.html
with people's help.

if at the end it is good, i hope it can find its way into the official
doc.
