Revision 2.
</p>
<p><strong><em>Is it possible to create a simple command line program that I can use to quickly test my regular expressions?</em></strong></p>
<p>Yes it is. This simple regular expression tester uses Python's re module as well as others to quickly allow you to test your regular expression in one go.</p>
<p>TODO:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add Support For Multiple Regular Expression Input</li>
</ul>
<p>Recent Changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Made the output prettier with a little more whitespace. More bytes, but at least it's easier to read!</li>
</ul>

Revision 9.
</p>
<p>If you want a small code snippet for enumerations in Python and the following code is sufficient for your needs, please go ahead and use it! Running the code is as simple as this: <code>STATE = enum('GET_QUIZ, GET_VERSE, TEACH')</code></p>
<p>This recipe was edited and adapted after the author was inspired by seeing other, better enum recipes lying around.</p>
