This is the first release of SnoPy, a Python extension build on
GNAT.SPITBOL.PATTERNS which provides many features of SNOBOL pattern matching
to the Python developer. It is released under the GPL. The home site for
SnoPy is http://snopy.sourceforge.net. There is an extensive users guide
including a SNOBOL pattern matching tutorial.
SNOBOL was a text processing language without equal that was developed at
Bell Labs in the 1960's. It has nearly died out but I am offering this
extension as an alternative to regular expressions. In many respects, SNOBOL
pattern matching is much more powerful yet easier to learn than regular
expressions.
