Edit DT_Util.py, changing line 200 from:
	import string, math, whrandom
to
	import string, math, whrandom,re

And after line 215:
	d['whrandom']=whrandom
insert:
	d['re']=re

(Line numbers refer to Zope 2.0.1, but the lines should be easily 
identifiable in other versions.)

I cannot see any good reason why this change couldn't be included 
in the release so I will submit it to the collector.
