The new regex library has some great improvements:

http://bugs.python.org/issue2636 It also has users and committed maintainers, so I hope we can bring it into 3.3. It wasn't easy to tell from skimming the change notes that Unicode character classes are amongst the new features. Is that the case?

According to http://effbot.org/zone/unicode-objects.htm (from 2004), the existing re module already supports Unicode character classes, so the regex module will as well. But the support has been updated, according to the change notes.
