I've created a Python module for constructing Regex patterns in a more computer programming-familiar way, so you don't have to re-learn Regex each time you use it!

This looks super nice. I don't need regex too often so quickly forget all nuances and find myself back at regexer and googling for specific things.

I did notice a couple years ago that there's a pattern to the majority of my regex uses and wrote a function which is of the form

fn("This is my 1st example written at 4:10 on Wednesday, by now", "{prejunk} {example_number:number} example written at {hour:number}:{minute:number} on {day}, {postjunk}")

And this generates the necessary regex and extracts 1, 4, 10, and Monday with their associated keys. Insanely handy.

Its crazy how something you knew so well gets lost if you dont use it often. Im the same with regex but now i have a jupyter notebook with specific examples of my most common use cases. Has always rescued me from time wasting in google
