# Secret Labs' Regular Expression Engine

#
# convert re-style regular expression to SRE template.  the current
# implementation is somewhat incomplete, and not very fast.  should
# definitely be rewritten before Python 1.6 goes beta.

# Portions of this engine have been developed in cooperation with

# other compatibility work.

# FIXME: comments marked with the FIXME tag are open issues.  all such
