Hmm, it was a joke. For a limited number of nestings you should be able to cook something up; I think Python allows up to 100 groups, so there is an upper limit of nesting levels. You might need a regex implementation that allows more than 100 groups to parse your regex-parsing regex though... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
