Here's a large Perl regular expression, from a Perl address parser in CPAN:
use re 'eval';
$Addr_Match{str eet} = qr/
(?:
# special case for addresses like 100 South Street
(?:($Addr_Match {direct})\W+ (?{ $_{street} = $^N })
($Addr_Match{ty pe})\b (?{ $_{type} = $^N }))
|
(?:($Addr_Match {direct})\W+ (?{ $_{prefix} = $^N }))?
(?:
([^,]+) (?{ $_{street} = $^N })
(?:[^\w,]+($Addr_Match{t ype})\b (?{ $_{type} = $^N }))
(?:[^\w,]+($Addr_Match{d irect})\b (?{ $_{suffix} = $^N }))?
|
([^,]*\d) (?{ $_{street} = $^N })
($Addr_Match{di rect})\b (?{ $_{suffix} = $^N })
|
([^,]+?) (?{ $_{street} = $^N })
(?:[^\w,]+($Addr_Match{t ype})\b (?{ $_{type} = $^N }))?
(?:[^\w,]+($Addr_Match{d irect})\b (?{ $_{suffix} = $^N }))?
)
)
/ix;
I'm trying to convert this to Python.
Those entries like "$(Addr_Match{d irect}) are other regular expressions,
being used here as subexpressions. Those have already been converted
to forms like "Addr_Match.dir ect" in Python. But how to call them?
Is that possible in Python, and if so, where is it documented?

That would be string interpolation, like this:
Addr_Match = {"direct": "some_re_string ",
"type": "other_re"
}
regexp = "%(direct)s %(type)s" % Addr_Match

You're right. I looked at the Perl code, and the strings are just being
inserted, not precompiled as regular expressions and called.
Incidentally, does anybody know what "$^N" means in Perl? That
abbreviation isn't in the list of special variables.

From the context it appears to be the "last matched group", or something
like that... but best look for some authoritative answer.

in term of its OO features, syntax consistencies, ease of use, and their
development progress. I have not use python but heard about it quite often;
and ruby, is it mature enough to be use for developing serious application,

I've given up on Perl for its ugly syntax and it is not the easiest language
to learn. How about PHP?

How similar is Python's re module (regular expressions) compared
to Perl's and grep's regular expression syntaxes?
I really hope regular expression syntax is sufficiently standardized
that
we don't have to learn new dialects everytime we move from one
