Monkey patch regular expression methods to built-in string types
## Introduction
This project is aiming at easing the use of regular expression,
which is inspired by RegExp in JavaScript. The name comes from “gorilla” and “re”. The sing-file module will monkey patch the following built-in methods of string types on its import:
replace
split and rsplit
find and rfind
index and rindex
partition and rpartition
count
startswith and endswith
Besides, it extends the built-in string types with following methods of re
module:
match
search
findall
finditer
## Usage
All you need is to import gorella in one line, everything is done for you:
`python >>> import gorella >>> 'I am 26 years old.'.search('\d+').group() '26' `
For built-in methods, when pass a regular expression object, it will call the corresponding re function, else it falls back to built-in one:
`python >>> pat = re.compile('\d+') >>> 'I am 26 years old.'.find('am') 2 >>> 'I am 26 years old.'.find(pat) 5 >>> 'I am 26 years old.'.partition(pat) ('I am ', '26', ' years old') `
Because it replaces the pure-C methods with python ones, the performance may be affected.
## Python 3 support
The monkey patching highly depends on the C-API of CPython, so it doesn’t support other implementations than CPython. The test passes on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5
