So with python regex matching, we have the meaning of \w and others affected by the re.LOCALE flag:
\w
When the LOCALE and UNICODE flags are not specified, matches any alphanumeric character and the underscore; this is equivalent to the set [a-zA-Z0-9_]. With LOCALE, it will match the set [0-9_] plus whatever characters are defined as alphanumeric for the current locale.
So we want to find out what characters are defined as alphanumeric for a given locale - say we did 'locale -a' and we have a list of locales, and want to find the info for one of the listed locales on the system. Any method to find the info quickly: a python code snippet or one-liner, shell command or maybe reference material somewhere.
The isalnum() method returns True if all the characters are alphanumeric, meaning alphabet letter (a-z) and numbers (0-9). Example of characters that are not alphanumeric: (space)!
Alphanumeric, also referred to as alphameric, is a term that encompasses all of the letters and numerals in a given language set. In layouts designed for English language users, alphanumeric characters are those comprised of the combined set of the 26 alphabetic characters, A to Z, and the 10 Arabic numerals, 0 to 9.
PHP | ctype_alnum() (Check for Alphanumeric) A ctype_alnum() function in PHP used to check all characters of given string/text are alphanumeric or not. If all characters are alphanumeric then return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.
The alphanumeric alphabet does not contain accented letters and consists of 26 uppercase letters -- A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z -- and 26 lower case letters -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y and z.
Use string.letters.
Example:
>>> import locale
>>> import string
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
'en_US.UTF-8'
>>> string.letters
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE')
'de_DE'
>>> string.letters
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\xaa\xb5\xba\xc0\xc1\xc2\xc3\xc4\xc5\xc6\xc7\xc8\xc9\xca\xcb\xcc\xcd\xce\xcf\xd0\xd1\xd2\xd3\xd4\xd5\xd6\xd8\xd9\xda\xdb\xdc\xdd\xde\xdf\xe0\xe1\xe2\xe3\xe4\xe5\xe6\xe7\xe8\xe9\xea\xeb\xec\xed\xee\xef\xf0\xf1\xf2\xf3\xf4\xf5\xf6\xf8\xf9\xfa\xfb\xfc\xfd\xfe\xff'
