Regular Expressions in Python unexpectedly slow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11190835/regular-expressions-in-python-unexpectedly-slow

when it fails to find a match as opposed to building a DFA and simulating it. It uses the backtracking approach even when..

How can you detect if two regular expressions overlap in the strings they can match?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1849447/how-can-you-detect-if-two-regular-expressions-overlap-in-the-strings-they-can-ma

standard decidability proof is to determinize them into DFA s first and then construct a new DFA whose states are pairs.. determinize them into DFA s first and then construct a new DFA whose states are pairs of the two DFAs' states and whose final.. then construct a new DFA whose states are pairs of the two DFAs' states and whose final states are exactly those in which both..

How to tell if one regular expression matches a subset of another regular expression?

of B and also of the union A B . Check if the two DFAs are identical. This is true if and only if A matches a subset.. are explanations such as Constructing a minimum state DFA from a Regular Expression but they only tend to consider mathematically..

What's the most efficient way to find one of several substrings in Python?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/842856/whats-the-most-efficient-way-to-find-one-of-several-substrings-in-python

conceptually the regular expression is modeled as a DFA and so as the input is consumed all matches are being tested..

Python regular expression implementation details

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/844183/python-regular-expression-implementation-details

I thought that regular expressions would be implemented as DFAs and therefore were very efficient requiring at most one scan.. a's as before . This clearly cannot be implemented with a DFA. So to reiterate what are the implementation details and guarantees..
