Regex for Gregorian Date Validation in Python

The problem

Write a daily expression that validates the gregorian date within the format “DD.MM.YYYY”

Right date examples:

"23.12.2008"
"01.08.1994"

Incorrect examples:

"12.23.2008"
"01-Aug-1994"
" 01.08.1994"

Notes:

• most size of validator is 400 characters to keep away from hardcoding. (shortest answer to this point is 170 characters)
• validator ought to course of leap days (February, 29) accurately.
• the date is Gregorian, it’s vital to find out if yr is leap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar

The answer in Python code

Choice 1:

date_validator = (
    '((('
    '(0[1-9]|1d|2[0-8]).(0[1-9]|1[012])|'    # 01-28 of any month
    '(29|30).(0[13-9]|1[012])|'               # 29-30 of months, besides February
    '(31.(0[13578]|1[02]))).'                # 31 of lengthy months
    '([1-9]d{3}|d{3}[1-9]))|'                # any yr, besides 0000
    '(29.02.('                               # leap day
    'dd([2468][048]|[13579][26]|0[48])|'     # leap years (mod 4)   
    '([2468][048]|[13579][26]|0[48])00'        # leap years (mod 400)
    ')))$' )

Choice 2:

not_0000  = "((?!0+$)d{4})"
not_feb   = "(0[13-9]|1[0-2])"
div_4     = "([2468][048]|[13579][26]|0[48])"
day_31    = "(31.(0[13578]|1[02]))"
day_29_30 = "(29|30)"
day_def   = "(0[1-9]|1d|2[0-8])"
two_int   = "d{2}"

day_29_30_31 = f"({day_31}|{day_29_30}.{not_feb}).{not_0000}"
day_default  = f"{day_def}.(02|{not_feb}).{not_0000}"
leap_year    = f"(29.02.({two_int}{div_4}|{div_4}00))"

date_validator = f"^({day_29_30_31}|{day_default}|{leap_year})$"

Choice 3:

date_validator = r"^(((0[1-9]|1d|2[0-8]).(0[1-9]|1[0-2])|(29|30).(0[13-9]|1[0-2])|31.(0[13578]|1[02])).(?!0000)d{4}$)|29.02.(?!0000)(([02468][048]|[13579][26])00|d{2}(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26]))$"

Take a look at instances to validate our answer

import re
check.assert_equals(bool(re.match(date_validator,'01.01.2009')), 
                    True, 'Primary appropriate date: 01.01.2009')
check.assert_equals(bool(re.match(date_validator,'01-Jan-2009')), 
                    False, 'Incorrect masks: 01-Jan-2009')
check.assert_equals(bool(re.match(date_validator,'05.15.2009')), 
                    False, 'Incorrect month: 15.15.2009')
