Hi Friends,

It is said that with the new re module, Python "has the regular expressions like Perl". Can somebody tell me to what extent this is true? I need to convince s.o. not to use Perl for a larger project, but I cannot answer the question up to which version the Python re's are covering all of Perl's?

thanks a lot - chris
