This is the first release of SnoPy, a Python extension build on 
GNAT.SPITBOL.PATTERNS which provides many features of SNOBOL pattern matching 
to the Python developer.  It is released under the GPL.  The home site for 
SnoPy is http://snopy.sourceforge.net.  There is an extensive users guide 
including a SNOBOL pattern matching tutorial.

SNOBOL was a text processing language without equal that was developed at 
Bell Labs in the 1960's.  It has nearly died out but I am offering this 
extension as an alternative to regular expressions.  In many respects, SNOBOL 
pattern matching is much more powerful yet easier to learn than regular 
expressions.
