I actually wonder if Python's re module can claim to provide even Basic Unicode Support.

Do you really wonder? Most definitely it does not. Were you more optimistic four years ago? http://bugs.python.org/issue1528154#msg54864

Not at all. I thought back then, and think now, that Python should, but doesn't, support TR#18. I don't view that lack as a severe problem, though, and apparently none of the other contributors did so, either.
