It’s been an interesting project so far due to only really picking up Python in the last month or so, but I’m still finding it very natural to use, and easy to write a ton of code with. I figured a RegEx tool would be a useful app for myself, and a good way to get better with Python, and RegEx. I’m hoping I can have something people can download by next week so I can get some feedback, but as you can see I already have some basics in place.

Some early progress.

I originally had been working on it in C++, but the amount of fuss and frustration with my lack of knowledge in STL and compilers had started to waste my time. I have been wanting to get better with python for a while now, and had even started working on this new blog using django, but just couldn’t find the time to finish it.

Seems pretty amazing to me that I was able to port the library from C++ to python in a handful of hours on the weekend, but I guess that shows why so many smart people are using python. Anyway, the library is nothing amazing, but it is very powerful and simple. I still need to learn a few things about python, and make things a little more flexible, but I have put the library on github under MIT license for anyone interested in using it.
