See http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/, there are regex benchmarks there. > I agree that a Python implementation wouldn't be useful for some > cases. On the other hand, I believe it would be fine (or at least > tolerable) for some others. I don't know the ratio between the two. I think the ratio would be something like 2% tolerable :) As I said to Ezio and Georg, I think adding the regex module needs a PEP, even if it ends up non-controversial. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
