flpc: Lightning-Fast Python Regex

🚀 Supercharge your Python regex with Rust-powered performance!

Being in experimental stage. The code structure and dependencies may change. If your project is using this. You will have to manually configure the migrations to latest versions.

flpc is a powerful Python library that wraps the blazing-fastRust regex crate, bringing enhanced speed to your regular expression operations. It's designed to be a drop-in replacement for Python's nativere module, with some minor syntax differences.

1. Install flpc:

   pip install flpc

2. Use it in your code as shown in the API

flpc mirrors there module's API, with a few small exceptions:

• Usefmatch() instead ofmatch() (to avoid conflicts with Python's keyword)
• When usinggroup() on a match object, always provide an index (e.g.,group(0) for the entire match)

Common functions include:

• compile()
• search()
• findall()
• finditer()
• split()
• sub()
• subn()

• Pre-compile your patterns for faster execution
• Use raw strings (r'') for cleaner regex patterns
• Always check if a match is found before accessing groups
• Remember to usegroup(0) to get the entire match
