Equivalent of assertRegexMatches in python 2.4

Question

Say I have a regex

Click to copy

REGEX = re.compile('.*foo{')

How would you write a unit test that matches a set of string with python 2.4 ?

I know in python 2.7 I can use assertRegexMatches, unfortunately this doesn't work in 2.4 :/

I use self.assertEqual for the rest of my tests.

Cheers, M
