[Python-Dev] regex Perl vs Python

[Christian Tismer]

Hi Friends,

It is said that with the new re module, Python "has the regular
expressions like Perl".
Can somebody tell me to what extent this is true?
I need to convince s.o. not to use Perl for a larger project,
but I cannot answer the question up to which version the
Python re's are covering all of Perl's?

thanks a lot - chris
