Regex on more than one line ?

There is what re.VERBOSE is made for splitting up long regex and eg adding comments.

import re

email = re.compile(r"""
    [\w.]+        # match any alphanumeric character or a period
    @             # match the character literally
    \w+\.[a-z]{3} # Any character followed by period and exactly three lower-case letters""", re.VERBOSE)
print(email.findall('[email protected] [email protected]')

Output:
['[email protected]']

The same as.

import re

email = re.compile(r'[\w.]+@\w+\.[a-z]{3}')
print(email.findall('[email protected] [email protected]'))

Output:
['[email protected]']
