You can probably disable the pre module altogether, which would avoid the
use of pypcre.c. Python 2.0 comes with two regular expression engines, 'pre'
for the old, Perl Compatible Regular Expression Engine, and 'sre' for the
new, unicode aware, much more flexible Secret Labs Regular Expressions
Engine. 'sre' is the default, but 'pre' is still around for backward
compatiblity.
