[New-bugs-announce] [issue3665] Support \u and \U escapes in regexes

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

Since \u and \U aren't interpolated in raw strings anymore, the re
module should support those escapes in addition to the \x and octal ones
it already does.  Attached patch.
