Making Python engine available

[arnoudx6]

Hey, on the demo site the Python engine is available. In this git version only the Javascript engine. Could you add the Python engine that is used in the demo?

Hi @arnoudx6,

The "Python engine" used by the demo site is a Python CGI script.
This script is located at: backend/pcre.cgi
You just need to create the backend to run this CGI script.

Ideally, I should provide a Docker image, but I've never had the time (or courage) to do it so far.

Hey, thnx for the quick reply. I really want to use this app internally in our company. We use Regex a lot but we don't want to use an online service like Regex101 and the visualizer is perfect.

What do you mean by "You just need to create the backend to run this CGI script". Can you give a more detailed description of what needs to happen?

What do you mean by: "Ideally, I should provide a Docker image, but I've never had the time (or courage) to do it so far". To deploy this app inside our company I would create a docker image and am willing to supply it. I would even help with setting an Github pipeline to the Github container registry.

For us to invest time into this project I need to be sure that you are still committed to the project.
