Pyparsing has a really nice feature that I want in PLY. I want to specify a list of strings and have them converted to a regular expression.
A Perl module which does an aggressively optimizing job of this is Regexp::List - http://search.cpan.org/~dankogai/Regexp-Optimizer-0.15/lib/Regexp/List.pm I really dont care if the expression is optimal. So the goal is something like: vowel_regexp = oneOf("a aa i ii u uu".split()) # yielding r'(aa|a|uu| u|ii|i)' Is there a public module available for this purpose? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
