Is this just the sre.py module? Does it include sre_constants, sre_compile, and sre_parse?
I was talking only about the sre module stub, not the other sre_* modules. These are still needed (e.g., sre_constants is used to generate the Modules/sre_constants.h header).
Anyway, would it be a good idea to move the re and sre_* modules into their own package?
re -> re.__init__ sre_compile -> re._compile sre_constants -> re._constants sre_parse -> re._parse
That's a possibility, although this will have to go past python-dev at this point since the PEP has already been accepted. -Brett
