How would I use a regular expression to match a string with or without parentheses at the end in Python3

I've never used regular expressions but know a little bit of the syntax after reading a bit on the python website.

I'm trying to write a regular expression that would match to entries in a text document. Each entry is on a newline.

For example here's a portion of the document I'm searching:

ABSOLVE  AH0 B Z AA1 L V
ABSOLVE(1)  AE0 B Z AA1 L V
ABSOLVED  AH0 B Z AA1 L V D
ABSOLVED(1)  AE0 B Z AA1 L V D
ABSOLVES  AH0 B Z AA1 L V Z
ABSOLVES(1)  AE0 B Z AA1 L V Z

if I had the string 'ABSOLVE' that I'm searching the document for I want to find 'ABSOLVE', 'ABSOLVE(1)', but NOT 'ABSOLVED' or anything else listed. Each line in this text document has a word followed by 2 spaces then some other data that should be collected after a match is found.

I'm just not sure if I should use $ or \b flags in an re or what. My idea was to use something like

re.sub(r'([A-Z])(.*?)(  )', r'\1\3', text)

Then just search from there. But this seems really inefficient considering I have a huge file (>100K lines). Is there a better way to use regex in this case? would I want to use re.sub() to strip the parentheses or re.search() here? It's a really big file I'm searching. Is there an expression I can use to collect the data after match until it hits a newline? I'd really appreciate any help here and just some advice for using regular expressions. Thanks

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
