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? Even bigger oops - I answered the thread questions and not this specific one. Currently Jython's re is a Jython specific implementation and so is not likely to benefit from the improvements in Java's re implementation. I think in terms of PEP 393 this should probably be considered a bug that we need to fix...
