Fear not.  In the brand new shiny PythonMethods Product coming soon
(really!) to a Zope near you, you will have the ability to say:

ModuleSecurityInfo('re').protect('compile', 'Use the "re" module')

...and suddenly anyone to whom you grant 'Use the "re" module' permission
will be able to 'from re import compile' in their Python Methods.  Anyone
else will be able to 'import re', but not access any of its contents.

Cheers,
