Summary: Cannot compile escaped unicode character

Initial Comment:
The following RE fails to compile on Python 2.2/
Windows XP.

I am trying to work around this by writing my own 
version of .escape which does not escape code points > 
127.


import re

a = unichr(0x2039)
b = u"["+re.escape(a)+u"]"
re.compile(b)
