Python doesn't use a global namespace -- importing a given module into 
one module doesn't make it visible everywhere else (and trust me, this 
is a very good thing).

(it uses a global module cache, though, so it's only the first import 
that actually loads the module)

to do that, add "import re" to the top of the C module.

see this page for a little more on Python's import mechanism:
