+Using a heap to insert items at the correct place in a priority queue:

.. attribute:: RegexObject.groupindex
A dictionary mapping any symbolic group names defined by ``(?P<id>)`` to group
*input* argument should be a string to be sent to the child process, or
``None``, if no data should be sent to the child.
- :meth:`communicate` returns a tuple ``(stdout, stderr)``.

Note that if you want to send data to the process's stdin, you need to create
the Popen object with ``stdin=PIPE``. Similarly, to get anything other than

Called to create a new instance of class *cls*. :meth:`__new__` is a static
method (special-cased so you need not declare it as such) that takes the class
of which an instance was requested as its first argument. The remaining
