Hello,
Can anybody tell me the reason(s) why regular expressions are not built
into Python like it is the case with Ruby and I believe Perl? Like for
example in the following Ruby code
line = 'some string'
case line
when /title=(.*)/
puts "Title is #$1"
when /track=(.*)/
puts "Track is #$1"
when /artist=(.*)/
puts "Artist is #$1"
end
I'm sure there are good reasons, but I just don't see them.
Python Culture says: 'Explicit is better than implicit'. May it be
related to this?
Regards,
antoine
