I have a different question about IronPython and Jython now. Do their regular expression libraries support Unicode better than CPython's? E.g. does "." match a surrogate pair? Tom C suggests that Java's regex libraries get this and many other details right despite Java's use of UTF-16 to represent strings. So hopefully Jython's re library is built on top of Java's?

PS. Is there a better contact for Jython?
