Options and AlternativesΒΆ
If you prefer the look of the less-than (<
) or less-than-or-equal
(<=
), as indicators that match
takes the value of the
following function call, they are experimentally supported as aliases
of the division operation (/
). You may define your own match
objects, and can use them on memoized Re
objects too. Putting
a few of these optional things together:
answer = Match() # need to do this just once
if answer < Re(r'(?P<word>th..)').search('and that goes there'):
assert answer.word == 'that'
