Using functions to construct Regex in Python

In plain words

This is a Python development tool for constructing regular expressions through functions rather than writing regex patterns directly. It's designed for Python developers who want a more programmatic approach to regex building. The tool was released in 2017 and is available on GitHub as an open-source project.
