[Python-Dev] sre.c and sre_match() (original) (raw)

I can't find sre_match() anywhere in the source and it doesn't have a man page. Usage is sprinkled throughout sre.c but it doesn't seem to be defined anywhere I can find. Would someone in the know tell me where it is?

I was actually poking around to see how hard it would be to allow pure-python string classes to work with the re modules. Much slower than base strings, but nice for odd cases (like doing regexp matches on ternary trees).
