I'm not sure I see the connection -- the 'regex' module is already declared obsolete... so Guido probably meant "if it's not even in there, don't waste time on it" imo, the main reasons for supporting 'regex' are 1) that lots of people are still using it, often for performance reasons 2) while the import error should be easy to spot, actually changing from 'regex' to 're' requires some quite extensive core restructuring, especially com- pared to what it takes to fix a broken 'append' or 'connect' call, and 3) it's fairly easy to do, since the engines use the same semantics, and 'sre' supports pluggable front-ends. but alright, I think the consensus here is "(1) get rid of it completely". in 1.6a2, perhaps? </F>
