flpc: Lightning-Fast Python Regex

🚀 Supercharge your Python regex with Rust-powered performance!

🌟 Why flpc?

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-fast Rust regex crate, bringing enhanced speed to your regular expression operations. It's designed to be a drop-in replacement for Python's native re module, with some minor syntax differences.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install flpc:

   pip install flpc
   

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

🔧 API

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

• Use fmatch() instead of match() (to avoid conflicts with Python's keyword)
• When using group() 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()

💡 Pro Tips

• 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 use group(0) to get the entire match
