Edit Question
Title
Body
In Python, the (?P<group_name>…) syntax allows one to refer to the matched string through its name: >>> import re >>> match = re.search('(?P<name>.*) (?P<phone>.*)', 'John 123456') >>> match.group('name') 'John' What does "P" stand for? I could not find any hint in the official documentation . I would love to get ideas about how to help my students remember this syntax. Knowing what "P" does stand for (or might stand for) would be useful.
