Thank you. I will use that!

Well, I need the regex to be used withing a parser (yeanpypa or
ZestyParser),  so I need it to be a regex to be matched against, and not a
piece  of code .
I could probably use a more simplistic re that does not check numeric
validity, and do that later, but your re would do both matching and
validation in one step.
