Haven't you heard that Python comes with "batteries included"? For most operations in your modules, you don't need anything more than what already Python provides. Most of the whitespace, find, search, replace variants are already in the standard library, or trivially implemented with the existing tools [1]. Even more speciallized functions like pattern_to_regex are already there (see fnmatch.translate [2]) So I think you would benefit a lot reading the Library Reference documentation [3]; as it says in the docs main page: "keep this under your pillow" [1] http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html [2] http://docs.python.org/lib/module-fnmatch.html [3] http://docs.python.org/lib/ -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
