Re: [Jython-users] Jython, re, jUnit

Thanks Clark and Neil.

re.match( "20", "200" ) not equal to None
re.match( "20", "200" ) and 1

Both seem reminiscent of Bash scripting to me, and that's why I don't 
like Bash scripting. :-) It seems to me the better way would be to have 
a convenience method like:

re.match("20", "200").toBoolean()

What do you think about my patching the re library to do so?
