Thanks for the conclusive answer.

Not conclusive - just my opinion. Which is informed, but not infallible ;-)

I will checkout the regex library soon.

You may not realize how easy this is? Just in case: go to a shell and type pip install regex (or, on Windows, "python -m pip install regex" in a DOS box). That's it. You're done. Now you can use regex. In some cases, you can put "import regex as re" at the top of a module At worst, replace instances of "re" with "regex". Stay away from the new features, and it's highly compatible with Python;s re.
