So, it seems as if regex already uses a better algorithm although I
couldn't find any reference to any regex theoretical framework like dfa,
nfa, thompson multiple-state simulation or something.
It still uses backtracking, like in the re module.
What’s the status of regex inclusion in the stdlib?

I've asked about this in the past, but have now come to the conclusion
that it is way better to leave regex, and many other third party
modules, on pypi rather than have them tied into the Python release
cycle. If YMMV so be it.
