Hi
I was reading a bit about the regex module and I would like to present some other solution into speeding up the re module for Python.
So, as a bit of background - pypy has a re compatible module. It's also JITted and it's also exportable as a C library (that is a library you can call from C with C API, not a python extension module). I wonder if it would be worth to put some work into it to make it a library that CPython can use.
On the minus side, the JIT only works on x86 and x86_64, on the plus side, since it's 100% API compatible, it can be used as a _xxx speedup module relatively easy.
Do people have opinions?
