Регулярные выражения иногда могут быть просто монструозными. Выглядеть это может крайне запутанно. Сами регэкспы и без того история непростая, а когда это длинный паттерн на несколько десятков знаков, разобрать там что-либо становится не просто.
Но на помощь приходит Python и его стремление сделать нашу жизнь проще!
В функциях регулярок можно после паттерна указывать флаги, один из которых позволяет писать паттерны более свободно. А именно, добавлять пробелы и переносы, которые будут игнорированы. В результате мы можем разбить паттерн на строки и добавить комментов.
Чтобы это сработало нужно добавить флаг re.VERBOSE. Пробелы в паттерне теперь следует указывать явно спец символами.
Согласитесь, что даже с именованными группами а таком виде регэкспа выглядит вполне сносно 😉.

On July 18, 1898, Marie and Pierre Curie discovered polonium, named after Marie’s homeland, Poland. On December 26, 1898, they announced the discovery of radium, with help from Gustave Bémont. These were two new chemical elements that helped scientists learn more about radioactivity. ⚛️

Radioactive scientist? Think of a woman.🩻
Let’s talk about the woman, the myth, the legend—Marie Curie. She didn’t just break through ceilings; she melted them with radioactive elements she discovered herself.
Born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw in 1867, Marie faced financial hardship early on. But with a prodigious memory and relentless drive, she moved to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. There, she wasn’t just a student, she connected with top physicists like Jean Perrin and eventually met her scientific partner in crime, Pierre Curie. Their partnership wasn’t just a marriage; it was a research powerhouse.
As she was working in the lab, Marie noticed something strange: the mineral pitchblende was more radioactive than pure uranium. How could that happen? Apparently, it contained a tiny amount of some unknown, extremely active element. Pierre joined the hunt, and together they discovered two brand new elements: Polonium (named after her beloved homeland, Poland) and Radium.
While Pierre studied the radiation, Marie did the heavy lifting—literally. She isolated pure metallic radium, with a little help from chemist André-Louis Debierne.
When World War I erupted, Marie didn’t hide in a lab. She pioneered mobile X-ray units, famously called “Les Petites Curies.” These were ordinary cars fitted with X-ray apparatus and driven right to the front lines. She personally secured funding, trained medics, and helped examine over one million wounded soldiers. She essentially brought X-rays to the battlefield and made them an essential medical tool.
