rdflib now has (checked into svn trunk) support for REGEX matching of RDF terms and thread-safe transactional support. The transactional wrapper provides Atomicity, Isolation, but not Durability (a list of reversal RDF operations is stored on the live instance - so they won't survive a system failure). The store implementation is responsible for Consistency.
The REGEX wrapper provides a REGEXTerm which can be used in any of the RDF term 'slots' with:
It replaces any REGEX term with a wildcard (None) and performs the REGEX match after the query invokation is dispatched to the store implementation it is wrapping.
Both are meant to work with a live instance of an RDF Store, but behave as a proxy for the store (providing REGEX and/or transactional support).
For example:
from rdflib.Graph import ConjunctiveGraph, Graph
from rdflib.store.REGEXMatching import REGEXTerm, REGEXMatching
from rdflib.store.AuditableStorage import AuditableStorage
from rdflib.store import Store
from rdflib import plugin, URIRef, Literal, BNode, RDF
store = plugin.get('IOMemory',Store)()
regexStorage = REGEXMatching(store)
txRegex = AuditableStorage(regexStorage)
g=Graph(txRegex,identifier=URIRef('http://del.icio.us/rss/chimezie'))
g.load("http://del.icio.us/rss/chimezie")
print len(g),[t for t in g.triples((REGEXTerm('.*zie$'),None,None))]
g.rollback()
print len(g),[t for t in g]Results in:
