testre wasn't so bad, the only problem was that it crashed with a "NULL return without an exception". testregexp was worse, it crashed my machine.

That's regex, right? regexp was the really old regular expression module we once had.

Anyway, I don't care about regex, it's old.

The sre code needs to be robustified, but it's not a high priority for me.
