🦄 Magic RegEx

Readable Regular Expressions for Python

1. Runtime is ultra-minimal
2. Compiles to pure RegEx
3. Automatically typed capture groups
4. Natural language syntax

This library is a port of the magic-regexp JavaScript module by Daniel Roe.

Quickstart

First, install magicregex by

pip install magicregex

Second, find e-mails in text by

import magicregex as mre

reg = mre.createRegEx(
    mre.exactly(
        mre.letter.TimesAtLeast(1)
        .And(mre.exactly('@'))
        .And(mre.letter.TimesAtLeast(1))
        .And(mre.exactly('.'))
        .And(mre.letter.TimesAtLeast(2))
    )
)
reg.findall('[e-mail] lore ipsum [e-mail]') 
# Result: ['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]']

Documentation

Up to now, this module is compatible with magic-regexp's documentation.
