- example, \regexp{Isaac (?=Asimov)} will match \code{'Isaac~'} only if it's
- followed by \code{'Asimov'}.
-
- \item[\code{(?!...)}] Matches if \regexp{...} doesn't match next. This
- is a negative lookahead assertion. For example,
- \regexp{Isaac (?!Asimov)} will match \code{'Isaac~'} only if it's \emph{not}
- followed by \code{'Asimov'}.

The most complete book on regular expressions is almost certainly
! Jeffrey Friedl's \citetitle{Mastering Regular Expressions}, published
! by O'Reilly. Unfortunately, it exclusively concentrates on Perl and
Java's flavours of regular expressions, and doesn't contain any Python
! material at all, so it won't be useful as a reference for programming
! in Python. (The first edition covered Python's now-obsolete
! \module{regex} module, which won't help you much.) Consider checking
! it out from your library.
