Hi, So I m trying to use a very large regular expression, basically I have a list of items I want to find in text, its kind of a conjunction of two regular expressions and a big list......not pretty. However everytime I try to run my code I get this exception:
OverflowError: regular expression code size limit exceeded I understand that there is a Python imposed limit on the size of the regular expression. And although its not nice I have a machine with 12Gb of RAM just waiting to be used, is there anyway I can alter Python to allow big regular expressions? Could anyone suggest other methods of these kind of string matching in Python? I m trying to see if my swigged alphabet trie is faster than whats possible in Python!
