mpack VS py_regular_expressions

I recently released a new version of my C MessagePack library MPack [1] with a cool new feature to dynamically calculate the size of maps and arrays during encoding. Having to always specify the size of containers up-front was a pain. I believe it's the only C/C++ MessagePack implementation that can do this. Of course bugs appeared immediately so I am working on a patch release.

I am also working on and off on my C template library Pottery [2]. I haven't pushed any code in a while; having a day job and young children makes progress slow :(

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook (free to read online).

This new version is a TUI app built with Textual. Previous one was written using `tkinter` [0] and covered only four of the `re` functions.

Now, any valid Python expression is accepted as a solution. Both the builtin `re` and third-party `regex` modules are covered.

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook [1] (free to read online, and PDF/EPUB versions are free till the end of this month).

I'd appreciate your feedback, happy learning :)

Last year, I did a similar project for 75 Python regular expressions exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

That was with Tkinter. I'm planning to update the regex book next year (to add new features like possessive quantifiers and other misc changes). Along with this update, I'll probably make a TUI version and add support for rest of the exercises.

If you are interested in Python regex, here's my tkinter app with 75 interactive exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

This assumes you already know Python regex. If you'd like learn first, see my free ebook: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/

I have an entire book dedicated for learning regex from the basics, with hundreds of examples and exercises. I cover both re and third-party regex module. It is free to read online: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/
