in the regex module re: Note: Match() is not exactly equivalent to Search() with "^". For example:
re.search(r'^B', 'A\nB',re.M) # succeeds re.match(r'B', 'A\nB',re.M) # fails if without the re.M, would re.search and re.match be equivalent? ------------ i wish to spruce up the rewritten re-module doc http://xahlee.org/perl-python/python_re-write/lib/module-re.html with people's help. if at the end it is good, i hope it can find its way into the official doc.
