# `means.base`: Shared Constants and Regex Store

```{py:currentmodule} means.base
```

The `base` subpackage holds the low-level infrastructure shared by the rest of the package: environment-derived constants and filesystem paths in `common`, and the compiled `RGXS` regex store in `regex`, which is re-exported here.

## `I` Regex Store

`RGXS` is the package-wide `RegexStore` (from `my-basis`) holding every compiled pattern used to parse ledgers, statements, and account paths.

```{py:currentmodule} means.base.regex
```

```{eval-rst}
.. autodata:: means.base.regex.RGXS
```
