New demo -- Perl style regular expression matching.

Slightly more featureful than regexdemo.py.

Demo/tkinter/guido/redemo.py

+"""Basic regular expression demostration facility (Perl style syntax).
+
+This displays a window with two type-in boxes.  In the top box, you
+enter a Perl style regular expression.  In the bottom box, you enter a
+string.  The first match in the string of the regular expression is
+highlighted with a yellow background (or red if the match is empty --
+then the character at the match is highlighted).  The highlighting is
+continuously updated.  At the bottom are a number of checkboxes which
+control the regular expression options used (see the re module for
+descriptions).  When there's no match, or when the regular expression
+is syntactically incorrect, an error message is displayed.
