Here are some benefits: DRY - You can assign a regexp to a variable and pass it around or call specific instance methods on it. Thus... Overhead - You don't need to keep compiling the same expression if you need to use it several times, you can just assign it to a variable and reference that. Clarity - named methods are clearer than operators. ( .match vs. =~ ). Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
