 Introduction

-The :mod:`re` module was added in Python 1.5, and provides Perl-style regular
-expression patterns.  Earlier versions of Python came with the :mod:`regex`
-module, which provided Emacs-style patterns.  The :mod:`regex` module was
-removed completely in Python 2.5.

 Regular expressions (called REs, or regexes, or regex patterns) are essentially
 a tiny, highly specialized programming language embedded inside Python and made
 available through the :mod:`re` module. Using this little language, you specify
