A CPython extension for [Vectorscan][7], an open source fork of
[Hyperscan][8], Intel's open source ([prior to version 5.4][9]),
high-performance multiple regex matching library.

* ✅ Binary [manylinux][12]-compatible wheels
* ✅ Statically linked (no need to build Hyperscan/Vectorscan)
* ✅ [Chimera][1] support

## Installation

```shell
# 🪄 Installing libhs is NOT required, because python-hyperscan is statically linked
pip install hyperscan
```

## Build Optimization

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][11]), extending the
[manylinux-hyperscan][10] Docker image used to build the binary wheels
for this library should be fairly straightforward.

## API Support

``python-hyperscan`` currently exposes *most* of the C API, with the
following caveats or exceptions:

* No [stream compression][2] support.
* No [custom allocator][3] support.
* ``hs_expression_info``, ``hs_expression_ext_info``,
  ``hs_populate_platform``, and ``hs_serialized_database_info`` not
  exposed yet.

See the [documentation][6] for more detailed build instructions.
