See the following page:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/re.html
6.2.3. Regular Expression Objects
regex.search
regex.match
regex.split
:
:
Suggestion: change "regex" to "pattern".
Reason 1: The object is a "Pattern" (_sre.SRE_Pattern).
Reason 2: People might confuse "regex" with "re", which is the name of
the module.
Reason 3: People might think that there is a "regex" class somewhere.
(Is there?)
