Re: [Python-ideas] Support parsing stream with `re`

I'd like to use the re module to parse a long text file, 1GB in size. I wish that the re module could parse a stream, so I wouldn't have to load the whole thing into memory. I'd like to iterate over matches from the stream without keeping the old matches and input in RAM.

How would you match 'a.*b' without loading the whole thing into memory?
