This is not at all what the origial poster looks for, I guess (or maybe it
didn't understand?). Regex can only match one individual sample of request
expressed in a logical form with AND and OR clauses.
What he wants is a module able to decode and perform logical searches. It can
certainly be built on top of regex, with a layer that:
* decodes logical requests
* performs "sub-matches" for items in the request
* then builds unions (OR) or intersections (AND) of results
I do not know of anything like that for python. But it would be a nice project
;-)
