Meaning, it compiles the regex on the way in. Thus, there isn't much to
gain from using (the current form of) regex pickling here.
Yes, re module only pickles pattern string and flags, it's safe for
cross-version pickle/unpickle. re module's pickle code:
def _pickle(p):
return _compile, (p.pattern, p.flags)
copyreg.pickle(Pattern, _pickle, _compile)

I had followed regex module for a year, it does pickle the compiled
data, this is its code:
def _pickle(pattern):
return _regex.compile, pattern._pickled_data
_copy_reg.pickle(Pattern, _pickle)
// in _regex.c file
self->pickled_data = Py_BuildValue("OnOOOOOnOnn", pattern, flags,
code_list, groupindex, indexgroup, named_lists, named_list_indexes,
req_offset, required_chars, req_flags, public_group_count);
if (!self->pickled_data) {
Py_DECREF(self);
return NULL;
}
