Do regular expressions need to be boring? I have written this little tool for my students to play with regexps. Along with a video projector, you can immediately demonstrate the validity or/and the effect of any construction they want to test. It's my first (and probably my last ;-) Tkinter script: feel free to improve it for your own needs!
(The GUI's metaphor is based on a funny anonymous pic I have found in googling "Finding Nemo".)
