>From the manual you mentioned, i don't get
the point of 'match'. So why should you use
an extra function entry match(),
re.match('whatever', t):
which is, according to the FM,
equivalent to (a special case of?)
re.search('^whatever', t):
For me, it looks like match() should
be used on simple string comparisons
like a 'ramped up C-strcmp()'.
Or isn't ist? Maybe I dont get it ;-)
