[Python-Dev] SRE incompatibility

[Sjoerd Mullender]

Is this problem ever going to be solved or is it too hard?
If it's too hard, I can fix xmllib to not depend on this.  This
incompatibility is the only reason I'm still not using sre.

In case you don't remember, the regexp that is referred to is
regexp = '(([a-z]+):)?([a-z]+)$'
