If you are willing to use a "from \_\_future\_\_ import", why not simply

� �import regex as re

? We're not Perl, we don't have built-in syntactic support for regular
expressions.

Regards

If you add regex as "import regex", and the new regex module doesn't work out, regex might be harder to get rid of.� from \_\_future\_\_ import is an established way of trying something for a while to see if it's going to work.

EG: "from \_\_future\_\_ import re", where re is really the new module.

But whatever.
