title: Does REGEX differ from PHP to Python
body: <p>I found this post: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118143/python-regex-vs-php-regex">Python Regex vs PHP Regex</a> but I actually did not get if Python's REGEX syntax matches PHP's REGEX syntax.</p>
  
  <p>I started to convert some of my old PHP code to python (due to g's appengine etc.), and now I would like to know whether the regex is 100% convertable, by simple copy &amp; paste.</p>
  
  <p>regards,</p>
