Summary: sre Scanner.scan typo (?)

Details: I believe there's a small glitch in the Scanner.scan method in the
sre module (up through ver. 1.25).  Here's what the scan method does when
it finds a match:

            if callable(action):
                self.match = match
                action = action(self, m.group())

the local variable match in the above is a reference to the match routine
from the internal scanner object in the C DLL.  I think the intention of
the above was probably to set self.match to m -- the Match object returned
from the successful search.

Comment:
The Scanner class is experimental, and wasn't really meant to be in 2.0.  I
plan to fix all bugs in 2.1 -- but it's up to the python-dev team to decide
if it should an official part of Python's RE package.
