As I mentioned before, I'm happy to explain the fuller Python way to write code, but I don't think Bart wants to learn it, because he is focused on a different goal than, "write real Python code the best possible way." Here, for example, is a real lexer for JavaScript that I wrote: https://bitbucket.org/ned/jslex/src It makes heavy use of regexes to go fast. I don't have benchmarks against other implementations unfortunately. --Ned. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
