[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

Does regex.py have its own test suite (which also includes tests for all the problems reported in the last few messages)?
If so, the new tests could be merged in re's test_re. This will simplify the testing of regex.py and will improve the test coverage of re.py, possibly finding new bugs. It will also be useful to check if the two libraries behave in the same way.
