If you would need a re engine with features like unicode rangees,
script, and character properties classes and many others, you may try
the proposed implementation of the re library currently available in
python issue tracker:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2636
I am personally more than satisfied with this development version
sofar, however, as some new feature like unlimited lookarounds etc.
suggest, it is a classic backtracking engine (as opposed to re2, if
you need this very implementation).
