Michael K Johnson <a1237+pyb...@danlj.org> added the comment: I also ran into this issue, and dealt with it as suggested here by changing to sets. Because I have underlying code that has to deal both with small hand-crafted regular expressions and arbitrarily-large machine-generated sets of paths, I subclassed set and implemented the match and search methods in my subclass so that the underlying code would work both against the hand-generated regular expressions and the machine-generated sets of paths. Hope this helps someone else who runs into this restriction.
