Hello,
I'm a recovering Perl user who's using the re module to parse a
bunch of text. (Miscellaneously tagged.)
Looking at other people's code, I notice folks tend to do their
re.compile()'s at the global level. I've got one pattern that is used
only within one function. If I say re.compile() inside the function
definition, does the pattern get compiled afresh every time the function
is called?
