About the only thing I can think of from the language summit that we discussed doing for Python 3.3 that has not come about is accepting the regex module and getting it into the stdlib. Is this still being worked towards?
Umpteen versions of regex have been available on pypi for years. Umpteen bugs against the original re module have been fixed. If regex can't now go into the standard library, what on earth can?
Something that isn't that big so that a maintainer can really read all of it.
I really wish the bug fixes had been made to SRE, instead of rewriting it all. So I'm -0 on this regex module. If this isn't added to 3.3, I'll start encouraging people to contribute changes to SRE for 3.4, and just ignore the regex module.
