This is crude, but works:
>>> import re
>>> RX= re.compile('^something')

Hi,
sorry, this seems to be a FAQ but I couldn't find anything
I need to check if an object is a compiled regular expression
Say
import re
RX= re.compile('^something')
how to test
"if RX is a compiled regular expression"
type(RX) says
but
if isinstance(RX,_sre.SRE_Pattern)
and
if isinstanc
