Final _sre.py release
For what it’s worth, I assembled a final release of _sre.py. It’s available from the _sre.py website. Since the previous release, one bug related to the definition of a unicode word character was fixed and a timing script was added. In the absence of any bug reports I consider it stable and done.
I’ll be compiling current PyPy overnight (yes, it takes that long on my good old iBook), and tomorrow I’ll brag about the speed increase since the last time I posted timings.
