But if it says 2.7 and above it should be v3 safge too since v2.7 allows pretty
good
portability between 2 and 3.
But thats just me...

If not possible use regexes where the input and/or search string are
unstructured.
If its structured use a parser for preference. (HTML, XML or pyparser etc for
proprietary type stuff)
There are a few things where regexes are the best tool, but for anything
non-trivial (relatively speaking!) there is usually a better way... IMHO...
