  • Thanks for sharing this. I took the time to read through the documentation of the re module. Here’s my review of the functions.

    Useful:

    • re.finditer returns an iterator over all Match objects
    • re.search returns the first Match object or None if there are no matches.
    • r'' use raw strings for patters so you don’t have to worry about backslashes
    • the optional flags argument modifies the behaviour (case insensitive, multiline)

    Utility:

    • re.sub replace each match in the string
    • re.split split a string by a regular expression

    The Match object:

    • match.groups(0) returns the portion of text matched by the pattern
    • match.groups(1) returns the first capturing group
    • match.groups(2) returns the second capturing group, and so on

    I don’t understand why these exist:

    • re.match like search, but only matches at the beginning of the string. why not just use ‘^’ or ‘\A’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
    • re.fullmatch like ‘search’, but only if the full string matches. Why not just use ‘\A’ and ‘\Z’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
    • re.findall Returns all matches. It seems like a shitty version of ‘finditer’. The function has three different return types which depend on the pattern you pattern you pass to the function. Who wants to work with that?

    1. Mount a remote file system via SMB or NFS and it’ll work like any folder on your PC - but you need a network connection to access it. If you need offline mode, maybe create a folder /offline and replicate it to your hard drive with a bidirectional synchronization tool like unison or syncthing. As for providers, personally I use Hetzner Sotrage Box because the price and service looks good enough to me that I didn’t bother to look for alternatives.

    2. KDE Discover is a GUI application for adding/removing packages from different sources
