Return position of matched text

[Jesús Leganés-Combarro]

Instead of returning an array of literals, return an array of objects of matched text and start position inside the original parsed text. Also, it would be good to have a list of all matched texts sorted by their position on the original text.

So this is currently supported, although indirectly. All compiled regexes are publicly exposed. To accomplish what you're looking for, you could do the following.

>>> from commonregex import time
>>> for m in time.finditer("Does 6:00 or 7:00 work better?"):
>>>     print m.start(), m.group()     
5 6:00 
13 7:00 

Hope that helps!

It's a posibility, maybe it should be added to the docs... :-)

Sure thing -- I'll update the docs to make sure everything is clear.
