import re # known_errors is a dictionary of errors from validation that we want to give users a hint for solving their problem. # The key is the known error, or part of the known error. It is a string. # We use the key to see if we have a known error. # The value is a dictionary that contains the hint for the user. # If we want to capture details about the error we can use a regex for the key. # If you use a regex, you must add a groups entry to the value dictionary. # groups is a dictionary defining the values returned from the groups() method from the regex search. # They key is the string used as a placeholder in the hint, and the value is the groups index. # I know this explanation is confusing.
