`An interested user', at least... BTW, I'm pondering on both your latest
posting arguments (Jpython and python policy), as I think that both
deserve a careful answer, especially the latter, which is of most use to
me by now... (I know, I'm just a bit egotic...)
Just to let you know I'm hearing what goes here: do you really think
someone would use a python without regexp? Just think about cgi, or better
do a:
$ egrep \\bre\(\|gex\)\\b /usr/lib/python/*.py|grep import|wc
I see 46 lines, some of whose in important modules like {url,xmg,sgml}lib!
And later will write on more important stuff, keep tuned!
Yours,
