Installation

pip install simplex

Getting Started

import simplex

pattern = "Hello, [name] (aka [nick])!"
regex = simplex.compile(pattern)

string = "Hello, earth (aka world)!"
match = regex.match(string)
print(match.groupdict())

import simplex

pattern = "<[el]>[value]</[:ref(el)]>"
regex = simplex.compile(pattern)

string = "<h1>Hello, World!</h1>"
match = regex.match(string)
print(match.groupdict())

Versioning and RFC2812

• Simplex follows semver for its public API.

  • Currently, compile is the only public function of simplex.
  • You should not rely on the internal api staying the same between minor versions.
  • Over time, private apis may be raised to become public. The reverse will never occur.
