Description:

pecoregex 1.1.0

PECOREGEX
Pecoregex stands for Perl-Compatible Regular Expression, better known as PCRE.
Pecoregex is python-pcre's weird little cousin: like python-pcre, pecoregex
acts as a bridge between Python and libpcre.
The key differences are:


pecoregex relies on ctypes to load and leverage libpcre.so; consequently, it can be installed without compiling
anything;


pecoregex only provides access to the most essential features of libpcre: compiling and executing regexes (including
retrieving captures); other features such as study(), JIT or sub() were not considered (yet?).


Modules
The pecoregex package provides multiple modules:


pecoregex.pcre provides PCRE_* constants and the PCRELibrary class; this is the part that actually interacts with
libpcre.so; it can be used directly or through the other modules that build upon it;


pecoregex.document defines key names for the Pecoregex document format; Pecoregex documents are a way to bundle 1 to n
PCRE patterns along with 0 to n subjects each.


pecoregex.factory provides helpers to build common Pecoregex documents (e.g. "1 subject, n patterns" documents);


pecoregex.util provides functions to process Pecoregex documents, i.e. compile the PCRE patterns they contain and
match their associated subject strings against them;


pecoregex.cli is typically invoked through the pecoregex CLI tool; it provides a mean to compile and execute PCRE
patterns: patterns and subjects are provided either as command-line arguments or by passing a Pecoregex document on
the standard input (as JSON or YAML); supported output formats include text, JSON and YAML; therefore, it is perfectly
possible to compile and execute multiple PCRE patterns and subjects before picking up their captures using jq.


pecoregex.extproc provides simple subprocess-based wrappers that leverage pecoregex.cli to compile and execute PCRE
patterns in a separate process; this is meant for all those who consider calling C functions from Python as a threat
to the reliability of their program.
