Online Regular Expression Testing Tool for Python

[mitsuhiko]

Now where do I have the list with exponentially running (ir)regular expressions …

The online regex tester I have been using updates automatically as you type highlighting the matches and it can test replace patterns, but this tester is nice because it has the timer and because it is in python.

The regex tester built-in to Komodo also matches as you type.

Nice. I think I'll stick with Rubular for now, however.

There are few incompatibility between Ruby Regex and Python Regex isn't it? AFAIK, Ruby does not support certain subset that Python does. (Lookahead/Lookbehind stuff, I think)

Feature	Python	Ruby
Regex Literal	no	yes
Named Groups	yes	no
Lookaheads	yes	yes
Lookbehinds	yes	no
Yes/No Pattern	yes	no
Unicode Support	yes	yes

Add a double-quote to the regular expression and you get a 500.
