New submission from Finn Mason <finnjavie...@gmail.com>:
>>> import re
>>> re.match('str', 'str').group()
'str'
>>> match 'str':
... case 'str':
... print('match!')
...
match!
>>> from re import match
>>> match
<function re.match ...>
As the above example demonstrates, while re.match doesn't raise an error
despite having a keyword name, importing re.match directly into __main__
replaces the keyword with the function. The obvious solution is to rename
re.match, but this would break many, many pieces of code.
