OTOH, my personal style is to always use re.compile() because I can never remember the order of arguments for re.match()/re.search(). Agreed. I don't have that problem, because the order is the same either way: re.compile(pattern).match(line) re.match(pattern, line)

But that would require thinking! ;-) More seriously, much as I hate the way ''.join() looks, I have never gotten mixed up about argument order as I used to with string.join().
