i've noticed that in Python official doc http://python.org/doc/lib/module-re.html and also How-To doc http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/
both mentions the book "Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. I suggest it be dropped in both places. The mentioning of this book in the Perl/Python community is mostly a fawning behavior and confession that the author is among "in the know". This book and its mentioning is a cultish behavior among OpenSource morons. Most of the time, its mentioning as a reference is irrelevant. 99% uses of regex are the simplest uses. Spending time to read this book of specialization, from economy perspective, is a waste of time.
