Precise? The OP asked for "tokens".
#>>> re.search(r"(and|or|xor)\s*#", "a = the_operand # gotcha!")

Try this:
#>>> re.search(r"\b(and|or|xor)\s*#", "a = the_operand # should fail")
#>>> re.search(r"\b(and|or|xor)\s*#", "and # OK")

Try with grep -P, which means use perl-compatible regexes as opposed to
POSIX ones. I only know for sure

Sorry about Tim. He's not very imaginative. He presumed that because
you asked on comp.lang.python that you would be testing it with Python.
You should have either (a) asked your question on
comp.toolswithfunnynames.grep or (b) not presumed that grep's re syntax
is the same as Python's.

Well, you asked for the python regexp...different
environments use different regexp parsing engines. Your
response is akin to saying "the example snippet of python
code you gave me doesn't work in my Pascal program".

In my opinion you would be best to use a tool like Kiki.

This will allow you to paste in the actual text you want to search and
then play with different RE's and set flags with a simple mouse click
so you can find just what you want. Rember what re.D

Test it with Python's re-module, then. \s for matching Whitespace is specific
to Python (AFAIK). And as you've asked in a Python Newsgroup, you'll get

for some reason that does not seem to do the trick.
