"LEE, Kwan Soo" is looking for Unicode support. Check out this thread in the python group "Perl speed vs. Python speed" Fredrik Lundh wrote:
if everything goes according to plan, 're' (and possibly also 'regex') will be replaced by a new unicode-aware engine in 1.6. I've attached some (somewhat outdated) benchmarks.
I'm speculating here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the unicode support will appear in the CVS version soon after the conference.
as for the official 1.6 release, only GvR knows...
