[Python-Dev] Looking for programs using regular expressions (original) (raw)

I'm working on techniques to automatically identify problematic regular expressions where carefully chosen inputs can cause a matcher to run for a long time.

I need testcases, so I'm looking for Python software that that is widely used and also uses lots of regular expressions. Can anyone offer any suggestions of what I should look at? I'm also looking for Perl software.

Thanks

Scott
