PEP 291 says that sre.py needs to be backward compatible with Python 2.1. sre.py says:

# this module works under 1.5.2 and later. don't use string methods import string Which is it? Martin changed the PEP last week (or so), but forgot to remove the comment.

I only changed it for xmlrpclib, and changed the comment in that module.

Just made the change for sre in pep-0291.txt 1.5, on 02-Jul-03. The commit message there says

Bumped sre's "baseline" to 2.1, per /F's recommendation in bug #764548
