Hello all -- my question regards special meta characters for the re module. I saw in the re module documentation about the possibility to abstract to any alphanumeric unicode character with '\w'. However, there was no info on constructing patterns for other unicode categories, such as purely alphabetical characters, or punctuation symbols etc.
I found that this category information actually IS available in python -- in the standard module unicodedata. For example, unicodedata.category(u'.') gives 'Po' for 'Punctuation, other' etc. So how do i include this information in regular pattern search? Any ideas? Thanks. I'm talking about python2.5 here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
