A CPython extension for Vectorscan, an open source fork of Hyperscan, Intel's open source (prior to version 5.4), high-performance multiple regex matching library.
# 🪄 Installing libhs is NOT required, because python-hyperscan is statically linked
pip install hyperscan
If you'd like to use Intel's Hyperscan rather than Vectorscan, or if you'd like to enable native CPU detection to build optimized non-FAT libraries (default off in Vectorscan), extending the manylinux-hyperscan Docker image used to build the binary wheels for this library should be fairly straightforward.
python-hyperscan
currently exposes most of the C API, with the
following caveats or exceptions:
hs_expression_info
, hs_expression_ext_info
,
hs_populate_platform
, and hs_serialized_database_info
not
exposed yet.See the documentation for more detailed build instructions.
