This Is What Python Beginners Have to Deal With
&gt; Now, compare that to what happens when I search for the same in Python. I get this:<p>&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.python.org&#x2F;2&#x2F;library&#x2F;re.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.python.org&#x2F;2&#x2F;library&#x2F;re.html</a><p>I clicked and I saw the kind of technical documentation I love to read: precise, with examples. There is an introduction to  Python&#x27;s flavor of regular expressions, which highlights the potential problems (backslashes). This is not targetted at novice <i>programmers</i>, though.<p>&gt; That’s the generic re library page. I have to scroll down to see which function I need.<p>Did you notice the table of contents on the left?
You might want to try Ctrl+F. But you might have to scroll down too, I don&#x27;t deny it. You have to read, too.<p>&gt; And even then, all I get is a hundred words of generic description. No examples.<p>Ctrl+F &quot;example&quot; highlights the table of contents. There is an example for &quot;findall&quot;.<p>&gt; I then have to Google Python regex findall examples, and go through a dozen blogs written in 2008.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lmgtfy.com&#x2F;?q=regex+findall+example#" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lmgtfy.com&#x2F;?q=regex+findall+example#</a><p>Not really, there are plenty of recent posts (stackoverflow,  etc). And having articles from 2008 would not even imply  that they are incorrect. In order to see how old your post is, I have to look at the source, but even though it is quite recent, it contains factual errors.
