    My Python solution for part 1 and part 2. I really practice my regex skills.

    spoiler 
    #!/usr/bin/python3

import re

value_re = '(\d+)'
symbol_re = '[^\d.]'
gear_re = '(\*)'

def main():
    input = list()
    with open("input.txt", 'r') as in_file:
        for line in in_file:
            input.append(line.strip('\n'))
    length = len(input)
    width = len(input[0])
    value_sum = 0
    for idx, line in enumerate(input):
        for match in re.finditer(value_re, line):
            for line_mask in input[max(idx - 1, 0):min(idx + 2, length)]:
                valid_chars = line_mask[max(match.span()[0] - 1, 0):min(match.span()[1] + 1, width)]
                if re.search(symbol_re, valid_chars):
                    value_sum += int(match[0])
                    break
    print(f"Value sum = {value_sum}")

    gear_ratio = 0
    for idx, line in enumerate(input):
        for match in re.finditer(gear_re, line):
            valid_lines = input[max(idx - 1, 0):min(idx + 2, length)]
            min_range = max(match.span()[0] - 1, 0)
            max_range = min(match.span()[1], width)
            num_of_adjacent = 0
            temp_gear_ratio = 1
            for valid_line in valid_lines:
                for match in re.finditer(value_re, valid_line):
                    if match.span()[0] in range(min_range,max_range + 1) or match.span()[1] - 1 in range(min_range,max_range + 1):
                        num_of_adjacent += 1
                        temp_gear_ratio *= int(match[0])
            if num_of_adjacent == 2:
                gear_ratio += temp_gear_ratio
    print(f"Gear ratio = {gear_ratio}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
