Hi,
I hope the question is not too silly, but why I would like to understand
the advantages of having both re.match() and re.search(). Wouldn't be
more clear to have just one function with one additional parameters like
this:
re.search(regexp, text, from_beginning=True|False) ?
In this way we prevent, as written in the documentation, people writing
".*" in front of the regexp used with re.match()
Thanks.
