Function Summary
	`match(pattern, string, flags)` Try to apply the pattern at the start of the string, returning a match object, or None if no match was found.
	`search(pattern, string, flags)` Scan through string looking for a match to the pattern, returning a match object, or None if no match was found.
	`sub(pattern, repl, string, count)` Return the string obtained by replacing the leftmost non-overlapping occurrences of the pattern in string by the replacement repl
	`subn(pattern, repl, string, count)` Return a 2-tuple containing (new_string, number).
	`split(pattern, string, maxsplit)` Split the source string by the occurrences of the pattern, returning a list containing the resulting substrings.
	`findall(pattern, string, maxsplit)` Return a list of all non-overlapping matches in the string.
	`compile(pattern, flags)` Compile a regular expression pattern, returning a pattern object.

Function Details

compile

compile(pattern, flags=0)

Compile a regular expression pattern, returning a pattern object.

escape

escape(pattern)

Escape all non-alphanumeric characters in pattern.

findall

findall(pattern, string, maxsplit=0)

Return a list of all non-overlapping matches in the string.

If one or more groups are present in the pattern, return a list of groups; this will be a list of tuples if the pattern has more than one group.

Empty matches are included in the result.

match

match(pattern, string, flags=0)

Try to apply the pattern at the start of the string, returning a match object, or None if no match was found.

purge

purge()

Clear the regular expression cache

search

search(pattern, string, flags=0)

Scan through string looking for a match to the pattern, returning a match object, or None if no match was found.

split

split(pattern, string, maxsplit=0)

Split the source string by the occurrences of the pattern, returning a list containing the resulting substrings.

sub

sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0)

Return the string obtained by replacing the leftmost non-overlapping occurrences of the pattern in string by the replacement repl

subn

subn(pattern, repl, string, count=0)

Return a 2-tuple containing (new_string, number). new_string is the string obtained by replacing the leftmost non-overlapping occurrences of the pattern in the source string by the replacement repl. number is the number of substitutions that were made.

template

template(pattern, flags=0)

Compile a template pattern, returning a pattern object
