MRAB's module offers a superset of re's features rather than a subset though, so once it has had more of a chance to bake on PyPI it may be worth another look.

I feel like the new module is designed to replace the current re module, and shouldn't need to spend time in PyPI. A faster regex library isn't going to motivate users to add external dependencies to their projects.
