Looks like this is a language limitation:
>>> b'é'
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: bytes can only contain ASCII literal characters.
No problem if you use escaped character:
>>> re.match(b'(?P<\xe9>)', b'').groupdict()
{'é': b''}
There may be some inconveniences in your program, but IMO there is nothing
wrong, maybe this issue can be closed.
