Folks, Does regular expression processing in Python allow for executable code to be embedded inside a regular expression?
For example, in Perl the following two statements $regex = qr/hello(?{print "saw hello\n"})mello(?{print "saw mello\n"})/; "jellohellomello" =~ /$regex/; will produce the output saw hello saw mello Is it possible to do the same in Python with any modules that come with the standard distribution, or with any other modules?
