Perhaps you intended "import re".
vowels = "aAeEiIoOuU" cons = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ" encodeRe = re.compile(r"([%s])[%s]\1" % (cons,vowels)) print encodeRe.sub(r"\1",s) This is actually a little more complex than you asked - it will search for any consonant-vowel-same_consonant triple, and replace it with the leading consonant. To meet your original request, change to: from re import *
And again.
cons = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ" encodeRe = re.compile(r"([%s])o\1" % cons) print encodeRe.sub(r"\1",s) Both print "prince".
No they don't. The result is "NameError: name 're' is not defined". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
