According to an earlier post, re is not available n Python Scripts because they can be the source of a DOS attack.
Yes, I hear that, but I'm not convinced. What exactly can regular expressions do, that Python scripts can't?
In my systems, I've decided that such attacks are an acceptable risk. I have enable re for Python Scripts in my system(s). Apparently this is a common practice. Follow the instructions in the PythonScript sources. Of course, you need source code access.
Many people will be be willing to accept that risk. But noone really knows if they're taking a risk of being further compromised, since the implications are not described anywhere (or maybe they are, and I simply haven't found it). -- Mvh.
