It exposes a similar API with functions like `compile()`, `search()`, `findall()`, `split()`, and `sub()`, but requires minor syntax adjustments: use `fmatch()` instead of `match()` and always provide an index when calling `group()` on match objects.\n\nThe package is designed as a drop-in replacement for performance-critical regex work, with no runtime dependencies beyond the compiled Rust library. However, the repository is archived and abandoned as of July 2024, meaning no active maintenance, bug fixes, or feature development are expected. It remains in experimental stage, and the code structure or dependencies may change without notice, requiring manual migration effort if you adopt it.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (archived repository, no commits since July 2024) and explicitly experimental, meaning you accept the risk of unresolved bugs, no future updates, and potential breaking changes. Install only if you have a short-term, isolated use case where you can afford to fork or maintain it yourself, and you've verified that the performance gain justifies the maintenance burden and API friction (fmatch(), mandatory group indices)."},"id":"flpc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flpc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flpc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flpc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-07-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flpc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Lightning Fast \u26a1 Rust-based regex crate wrapper for Python3 to get faster performance. \ud83d\udc7e"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1705760,"position":3636,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.5"}
