[Python-Dev] New regex module for 3.2?

[MRAB]

Hi all,

I re-implemented the re module, adding new features and speed
improvements. It's available at:

     http://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex

under the name "regex" so that it can be tried alongside "re".

I'd be interested in any comments or feedback. How does it compare with
"re" in terms of speed on real-world data? The benchmarks suggest it
should be faster, or at worst comparable.

How much interest would there be in putting it in Python 3.2?
