Wanted to know if the above link idea, had been implemented and if there's a module that accepts a pattern like 'cap' and give you all the instances of unicode 'CAP' characters. ⋂ \bigcap ⊓ \sqcap ∩ \cap ♑ \capricornus ⪸ \succapprox ⪷ \precapprox (above's from tex) I found two useful modules in this regard: unicode_tex, unicodedata but unicodedata is a builtin which does not do globs, regexs - so it's kind of limiting in nature. Would be nice if you could search html/xml character entity references as well. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
