Module b.lazy_regex

Lazily compiled regex objects.

This module defines a class which creates proxy objects for regex compilation. This allows overriding re.compile() to return lazily compiled objects.

Line #	Kind	Name	Docs
26	Class	LazyRegex	A proxy around a real regex, which won't be compiled until accessed.
75	Function	lazy_compile	Create a proxy object which will compile the regex on demand.
83	Function	install_lazy_compile	Make lazy_compile the default compile mode for regex compilation.
92	Function	reset_compile	Restore the original function to re.compile().

def lazy_compile(*args, **kwargs):

Create a proxy object which will compile the regex on demand.

Returns a LazyRegex proxy object.

def install_lazy_compile():

Make lazy_compile the default compile mode for regex compilation.

This overrides re.compile with lazy_compile. To restore the original functionality, call reset_compile().

def reset_compile():

Restore the original function to re.compile().

It is safe to call reset_compile() multiple times, it will always restore re.compile() to the value that existed at import time. Though the first call will reset back to the original (it doesn't track nesting level)
