Benjamin Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: It seems that escape is pretty dumb. The documentations says that re.escape escapes all non-alphanumeric characters, and it does that faithfully. It would seem more useful to have a list of meta-characters and just escape those. This is more true in Py3k when str can have thousands of possible characters that could be considered alphanumeric.
