Dear Idealists, I notice that when you do use the re module grouping, that it only tells you what it matched last: Dumb Real Python Code:
import re match=re.search('^(?P<letter>[a-z])*$', 'abcz') match.groupdict() {'letter': '0'} What happened to all the other matches. Now here is a cool idea.
import re match=re.search('^(?P<letter>[a-z])*$', 'abcz') match.groupdict() {'number': '0'} {'letter.0':'a', 'letter.1':'b', 'letter.2':'c', 'letter.3':'z'}
Cool Improved Python Code * * Now, we see all that it matched. Now the problem with this and all ideas is reverse compatibility. So an addition is also too.
import re match=re.search('^(?P*P*<number>[a-z])** and also (?PP=letter.0)(?PP=letter.-1)*$', 'abcz* and also az*') match.groupdict() {'letter.0':'a', 'letter.1':'b', 'letter.2':'c', 'letter.3':'z'}
Notice how I added an extra P. I also made it so that matching it in the text is also more adaptable. Please consider this idea. Sincerely, Me
