[Python-ideas] Support parsing stream with `re`

[Ram Rachum]

Hi,

I'd like to use the re module to parse a long text file, 1GB in size. I
wish that the re module could parse a stream, so I wouldn't have to load
the whole thing into memory. I'd like to iterate over matches from the
stream without keeping the old matches and input in RAM.

What do you think?


Thanks,
Ram.
