  Description     : Regular expression accelerator for Python

Esmre is a Python module that can be used to speed up the execution of a
large collection of regular expressions. It works by building a index of
compulsory substrings from a collection of regular expressions, which it
uses to quickly exclude those expressions which trivially do not match
each input. 
.
The esmre module builds on the simpler string matching facilities of the 
esm module, which wraps a C implementation some of the algorithms
described in Aho's and Corasick's paper on efficient string matching
[Aho, A.V, and Corasick, M. J. Efficient String Matching: An Aid to
Bibliographic Search. Comm. ACM 18:6 (June 1975), 333-340]. Some minor
modifications have been made to the algorithms in the paper and one 
algorithm is missing (for now), but there is enough to implement a quick
string matching index.
