If you wish to use a hydrogen bomb instead of a tooth pick feel free, I 
won't lose any sleep over it.  Meanwhile I'll get on with writing code, 
and for the simple jobs that can be completed with string methods I'll 
carry on using them.  When that gets too complicated I'll reach for the 
regex manual, knowing full well that there's enough data in books and 
online to help even a novice such as myself get over all the hurdles. 
If that isn't good enough then maybe a full blown parser, such as the 
pile listed here http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html ?
