So a couple of libraries (Django being the most popular that comes to mind) try to match a string against several regex expressions. I'm wondering if there exists a library to "merge" multiple compiled regex expressions into a single lookup.
The only thing I'm aware of at the moment is my own Plex library, but it's currently implemented in pure Python, so it's not as efficient as the re module with an extension like this would be. I have a half-finished project on the back burner to reimplement the core of Plex using Pyrex, but it's been languishing for so long that the burner has probably gone out by now. Maybe I should relight it... -- Greg
