[Jython-dev] re v. sre

[Steven M. <sr...@ya...>]

Hello all,

The re.py module gives preference to the new sre module.
However, I notice that the java version of the re module is
implemented using the ORO matcher -- and I assume that the java
version is used instead of the py version in jython.

I am a heavy user of regex in jython. What is the future?
Will the java version of the re module go away and the ORO
matcher be eliminated? Will I have to continue to explicitly
import sre to use the python-based regex code? Has anyone done
any performance comparisons of sre v. ORO?

thanks much!
Steven Marcus
